A 70-year-old chartered accountant based in Gwalior was swindled out of ₹21.06 crore after getting a WhatsApp text that started with, "Hello, this is Divya speaking." The message convinced him to put money into a fraudulent USDT crypto trading site. According to officials, the funds were moved across a complicated four-tier banking system that utilized more than 20,000 digital transactions. Authorities have managed to freeze about ₹2 crore of the stolen amount.
