Mumbai: A 34-year-old Mumbai banker, Chirag G., an IDFC First Bank employee, lost Rs. 2.59 lakh in an online task fraud between June 30 and July 1, 2025.
The BKC police registered an FIR on July 12 against an unidentified individual. Chirag, residing in Sion East, was enticed by a message offering extra income for simple online tasks like clicking links and liking content, with Rs 50 promised per task. After joining a Telegram group, he successfully completed initial tasks and received Rs. 2,500 in his Axis Bank account, which built his trust.
The fraudster then convinced Chirag to pay in advance for “prepaid tasks,” leading him to transfer the significant sum to various bank accounts. When he tried to withdraw his investment and promised profits, the scammer became evasive, confirming the fraud.
