Mahesh Bhayani, from Navania village in Amreli district, lost Rs 93 lakh after falling into a fake USDT crypto investment scheme.<\/p><div class=\"trade-delta\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-2315932678\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/get\/coindcxfg\/\" aria-label=\"coindcx ads\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/coindcx.webp\" alt=\"coindcx ads\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/coindcx.webp 500w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/coindcx-480x480.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Scammers promised him high returns. Instead, they vanished with his hard-earned money. Police have now launched an investigation. The incident serves as a warning about growing online fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scam-begins-with-a-simple-message\"><strong>Scam Begins with a Simple Message<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bhayani runs Jay Khodiyar Enterprise, a stone-crushing business. On September 25, 2025, he received a message from an unknown number on WhatsApp. The sender claimed it was sent by mistake.<\/p><div class=\"trade-coindcx-3\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-1677491148\"><script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"clever-core\">\r\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\r\n    (function (document, window) {\r\n        var a, c = document.createElement(\"script\"), f = window.frameElement;\r\n\r\n        c.id = \"CleverCoreLoader101144\";\r\n        c.src = \"https:\/\/scripts.cleverwebserver.com\/fbda060f29d5b8e8c653abce4ac69b7b.js\";\r\n\r\n        c.async = !0;\r\n        c.type = \"text\/javascript\";\r\n        c.setAttribute(\"data-target\", window.name || (f && f.getAttribute(\"id\")));\r\n        c.setAttribute(\"data-callback\", \"put-your-callback-function-here\");\r\n        c.setAttribute(\"data-callback-url-click\", \"put-your-click-macro-here\");\r\n        c.setAttribute(\"data-callback-url-view\", \"put-your-view-macro-here\");\r\n\r\n        try {\r\n            a = parent.document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\r\n        } catch (e) {\r\n            a = !1;\r\n        }\r\n\r\n        a || (a = document.getElementsByTagName(\"head\")[0] || document.getElementsByTagName(\"body\")[0]);\r\n        a.parentNode.insertBefore(c, a);\r\n    })(document, window);\r\n\/* ]]> *\/\r\n<\/script>\r\n<div class=\"clever-core-ads\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, the conversation resumed. A woman introducing herself as \u201cNeha Sharma\u201d began chatting with him regularly. She showed interest in his business and shared details about her life. She claimed to own a fabric factory and a showroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gradually, she shifted the conversation toward stock markets and cryptocurrency. This caught Bhayani\u2019s attention. Over time, trust developed between them.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-672347585\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/get\/delta\/\" aria-label=\"Delta Exchange Ads\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1.png\" alt=\"Delta Exchange Ads\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1.png 500w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/crypto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Delta-Exchange-5-1-1-480x480.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 500px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fake-platform-and-initial-investment\"><strong>Fake Platform and Initial Investment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharma later introduced him to a platform called \u201cKanakdham Exchange.\u201d She described it as a reliable and profitable USDT trading platform. She assured him that earning high returns was easy. She encouraged him to start with a small amount. Using a link she shared on WhatsApp, Bhayani registered on the platform. He made his first deposit of Rs 51,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharma then sent him trading tips and guided him through transactions. He followed her instructions closely. As the platform displayed steady gains, his confidence grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fake-profits-fuel-bigger-bets\"><strong>Fake Profits Fuel Bigger Bets<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By October 2025, the platform showed profits of nearly Rs 7 lakh from four trades. Encouraged by the figures, Bhayani tried to withdraw his money. However, the scammers blocked the withdrawal. They claimed he had to pay taxes and processing fees first. Believing them, he paid the amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon, his investments increased sharply. Between October 11, 2025, and January 3, 2026, he transferred a total of Rs 92.75 lakh to various accounts linked to the scam. To arrange the funds, he took loans and used his business savings. He borrowed Rs 25 lakh from a bank and Rs 17 lakh from a finance company. The remaining amount came from his firm\u2019s account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each payment was made in the hope of receiving large returns. However, no money was ever returned. Sharma continued giving assurances and promised quick withdrawals after additional payments. Weeks passed, but nothing happened. Eventually, Bhayani realised he had been cheated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong><em>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/crypto\/crypto-coin-worldcoin-surges-40-as-openai-explores-biometric-social-platform-heres-why\/\">Crypto Coin Worldcoin Surges 40% as OpenAI Explores Biometric Social Platform.

He named \u201cNeha Sharma,\u201d the operators of the fake website, and the bank account holders involved in the transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several unknown persons were also listed in the complaint. Police have begun tracing the money trail and examining digital records. No arrests have been made so far. On the other hand, Bhayani is struggling with heavy loan repayments. The loss has affected his business operations and financial stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rising-crypto-fraud-cases\"><strong>Rising Crypto Fraud Cases<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials say Gujarat has seen a rise in similar cryptocurrency scams. Fraudsters often contact victims through WhatsApp and social media. They build trust, show fake profits, and then demand extra fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such platforms usually display manipulated data to mislead users. Victims are trapped once they invest large sums. Bhayani\u2019s case follows this pattern. First, scammers build rapport. Then, they offer small \u201cprofits\u201d to gain confidence. Finally, they demand bigger investments and vanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police have advised people to be cautious about unsolicited investment offers. They urge investors to verify platforms through official sources and avoid schemes promising guaranteed returns. Legitimate trading platforms do not ask for secret fees to release funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-warning-for-others\"><strong>A Warning for Others<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Amreli and nearby districts, similar cases are increasing. Scammers often target businessmen who have access to loans and business capital. Awareness remains limited, but incidents like this highlight the risks. Authorities urge people to report suspicious messages immediately and educate family members about digital fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing his experience, Bhayani said, \u201cI trusted too easily and ignored the warning signs.\u201d Police have assured strict action against those involved. They continue to investigate the case and recover the funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident serves as a reminder that while cryptocurrency offers opportunities, it also attracts fraudsters. Staying alert online is the best defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Written By Fazal Ul Vahab C H<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"trade-after-content\" id=\"trade-4182945665\"><div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\"><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({\r\n    mode: 'alternating-thumbnails-a',\r\n    container: 'taboola-below-article-thumbnails',\r\n    placement: 'Below Article Thumbnails',\r\n    target_type: 'mix'\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];\r\n  _taboola.push({flush: true});\r\n<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis: A 52-year-old businessman lost Rs 93 lakh in a fake USDT crypto investment scam.
