Rise of Investment Scams
The session focuses on the rise of investment scams, especially fraudulent share-trading schemes. Santosh Kumar Tiwari says these are among the most commonly reported scams in Ghaziabad. He cites about ₹56 crore in reported losses from share-trading cases in the area. Victims include retired and working professionals, some of whom invest large sums.
How the Scams Work
Scammers may use AI-generated videos featuring well-known figures to promote trading advice. People who click through may be asked about their trading experience and how much they invest, then added to WhatsApp groups.
The scammers share tips and may display small, manipulated gains to build trust. They may also use profile photos and identities associated with prominent market figures, while people who appear to be trained message potential victims.
The subtitles end while Tiwari is describing these recruitment and impersonation tactics, so they provide no further detail on prevention.
