A Gurugram doctor lost Rs 2.5 crore to online trading scammers, joining a growing list of victims nationwide. 

Dr. Puneet Sardana was lured by an online ad promising lucrative stock market investments on January 4, 2024. 

He contacted the provided number and was sent a link to download a seemingly legitimate share-buying app via WhatsApp. 

Initially investing Rs 50,000, Dr. Sardana saw apparent profits and was encouraged to invest more, totaling Rs 3.19 crore. 

However, when he tried to withdraw his profits, he was denied access to his funds. 

Scammers then persuaded him to deposit Rs 1.36 crore as "security deposits" to facilitate withdrawals. 

After transferring the money, the scammers disappeared, cutting off all communication. 

Despite attempts to retrieve his investments, Dr. Sardana was unsuccessful and eventually reported the incident to the police. 

This case underscores the risks associated with online ads promising unrealistic returns, cautioning against such tempting offers. 

Many victims have shared similar experiences, highlighting the need for awareness and vigilance in online financial transactions.
