Youth duped of over Rs 12 lakh

A youth was allegedly cheated of over Rs 12 lakh in a trading scam. According to a complaint filed by Sunil Kumar, a resident of Rajiv Nagar Colony, Hansi, he was added to a WhatsApp group called Aviva Investors F62 on May 8. The group was created by someone named Max Burns, and it included several assistants. One of these assistants contacted Sunil and encouraged him to open an Aviva account.

After observing the group’s activities for 15 days, Sunil received a link through the Google Play app and opened an account with Aviva First Sem. He noticed that many Indians were investing in stock market shares through the platform. Sunil initially deposited Rs 40,000 into an account with Brisk Foundation. Over time, he deposited a total of Rs 12,67,500 and began trading through the Aviva app.

Sunil claimed that after some trading, he was shown a profit of Rs 30 lakh in his account. However, when he attempted to withdraw the money, he was asked to deposit additional funds, and his payment was subsequently stopped. Realising he had been cheated, Sunil filed a complaint with the police.
