An anaesthetist from Ahmedabad fell victim to a WhatsApp stock market investment scam and lost Rs 33 lakh. The fraudster offered lucrative investment opportunities and provided “A1 tips” for trading, leading the victim to believe in the scheme. The scam involved promising high returns on the stock market through WhatsApp messages and convincing the victim to make substantial investments. Unfortunately, the anaesthetist realized it was a scam only after losing a significant amount of money. This incident serves as a reminder for people to be cautious when receiving investment advice on social media platforms and to verify the credibility of the sources before making any financial decisions. The rise of online scams targeting unsuspecting individuals highlights the importance of financial literacy and awareness among the public. Authorities advise the public to exercise caution and due diligence while dealing with investment opportunities shared through social media and to report any suspicious activities to prevent falling victim to such fraudulent schemes.
