HYDERABAD/MUMBAI – In a recent crackdown on cybercrime, Hyderabad police have apprehended Hitesh Goyal in connection with an online scam operated through ‘dafabet.com’. The arrest followed a report from a Mumbai local who lost Rs. 70 lakh ($1 = ₹83.11), leading to the recovery of Rs. 1.40 crores, various electronic devices, and banking instruments. The scam, which has international links, is under rigorous investigation to capture all individuals involved.
In a separate incident, a resident of Dhokali in Mumbai was defrauded of Rs 27 lakh through a Facebook (NASDAQ:) cryptocurrency scam. The victim was lured by an advertisement and subsequently tricked by an impostor claiming to be from Belgium. False confirmations and a website displaying fake profits were used to deceive the victim, who was then unable to retrieve the promised returns due to a counterfeit withdrawal link.
