MUMBAI: A CFO of a retail company has filed a complaint with the police after he was cheated of Rs 9 lakh by an individual who offered to buy cryptocurrency from him. Although the complainant transferred the cryptocurrency to the accused, he was never paid for it. The Bangur Nagar police have registered an FIR and are investigating further.

The complainant told the police that he had been trading in crypto since 2020 and had an account with a crypto exchange. On December 27, 2021, he purchased a cryptocurrency, Tether, for Rs. 8.78 lakhs. Over time, the value of the cryptocurrency increased to Rs. 9 lakhs. The complainant then decided to sell it. He posted a message on the crypto exchange about his intention to sell. He was contacted online by one Vaibhav Sumra, and they exchanged phone numbers.

Sumra asked the complainant to transfer the cryptocurrency to his crypto wallet and promised to pay the money via bank transfer. The complainant trusted him and transferred the cryptocurrency but never received any money. Sumra either dodged his calls or claimed to be suffering from financial difficulties. The complainant eventually filed a complaint with the police and an FIR was registered on July 20.
