A woman in Delhi recovered $35,000 (around ₹29 lakh) after being duped in a Bitcoin investment scam. She was lured via a social media platform promising high returns. The scammer convinced her to invest in a fake crypto platform, where initial gains encouraged further deposits. Suspicious after withdrawal delays, she contacted Delhi Police’s Cyber Crime Unit. Authorities traced the digital trail, froze fraudulent accounts, and successfully retrieved the full amount. The case highlights growing crypto fraud risks and the importance of prompt reporting. Officials urge citizens to verify platforms and avoid sharing personal details online without proper authentication or research.
