Hyderabad police busted a ₹712 crore global crypto scam linked to Chinese nationals operating from Dubai. Victims were lured via Telegram with promises of high returns for simple online tasks but lost money when trying to withdraw. Funds were funneled through Indian banks, converted into cryptocurrency, and transferred abroad, with some linked to Hezbollah. Over 15,000 Indians were affected, losing an average of ₹5-6 lakh each. Authorities arrested nine people and froze ₹10.5 crore. A December 2023 arrest in Uttar Pradesh exposed further Chinese fraud connections, highlighting the urgent need for stronger cybersecurity and fraud prevention measures.
