The cases have been lodged at the Noida Cyber Crime police station.
A Meerut resident has claimed that he has been duped of Rs 1.84 crore over multifold benefits promised by a website, while a Ghaziabad-based man has alleged that he has lost Rs 95 lakh believing in a job offer abroad in two separate cases of cyber con, Uttar Pradesh police officials said on Tuesday.
The cases have been lodged at the Noida Cyber Crime police station in Sector 36 and are under investigation, Inspector Reeta Yadav, the inspector in-charge of the police station who is leading the probe, told PTI.
In the first case, Meerut-based businessman Yogendra Kumar Chaudhary (40) has claimed that he has lost Rs 1.84 crore, which he had "invested" on a trading website.
"He said he was introduced to the website -- gicsingapore.com -- in July 2021 by a woman, who identified herself as Annie. She contacted him over the phone and WhatsApp, and informed him of the lucrative returns from the website for those who opened a trading account on it," a cyber police official said.
