Financial Consultant Loses ₹14.8 Billion In Tinder Love Scam

A financial consultant in India recently fell victim to a love scam on the popular dating app, Tinder. According to reports, the consultant lost a staggering ₹14.8 billion in the scam.

The victim, who has not been identified, allegedly met the scammer on Tinder and developed a romantic relationship with them. The scammer posed as a wealthy UK-based architect and convinced the consultant to invest in various business ventures.

The consultant reportedly transferred large sums of money to the scammer's bank account over a period of several months. However, the promised returns never materialized and the scammer disappeared with the funds.

The incident highlights the dangers of online romance scams and the need for caution when using dating apps. Scammers often use fake identities and personas to gain the trust of their victims before exploiting them for financial gain.

It is important to be wary of anyone asking for money or investments on dating apps, especially if you have never met them in person. It is also advisable to do a background check and verify the identity of the person you are communicating with before sharing any personal information or financial details.

In addition, it is crucial to report any suspicious activity to the authorities and the dating app platform to prevent others from falling victim to similar scams.

This unfortunate incident serves as a reminder to always exercise caution and vigilance when using online platforms and to prioritize personal safety and security over fleeting relationships.
