Cyber Fraud: Thousands of people were duped of Rs 100 crore by luring them with the promise of earning big money through an app called High Box. To lure people, the company advertised with actresses and YouTubers. This new trend has once again raised the concern of security agencies. People should be cautious of such greedy offers. Virendra Kumar, a resident of Gokalpuri, said that I, along with my two sons, bought many boxes on the High Box app last July but did not get any profit even once. More than three lakh rupees of his got stuck in the app.
An FIR was registered at the North-East Cyber Police Station and the case was transferred to the Special Cell. A similar FIR has been lodged by the IFSO unit. More than 20 complaints have been received by the police. Himanshu Agarwal, Ananya Chaurasia and Ankit Kumar have said that they were cheated by their ex. According to the police, the number of victims in this case could be in thousands.
Rhea Chakraborty, Elvish Yadav made the announcement
To trap as many people as possible, the accused paid lakhs of rupees and advertised with several YouTubers and social media influencers including actress Rhea Chakraborty, Elvish Yadav, Abhishek Malhan. Police say they will call the advertiser as a witness and join the investigation.
On the High Box app, one would get a box on investing between Rs 300 and Rs 1 lakh. On opening the box, the items that came out of it were bought on this platform at a premium of one percent. If a person bought a box worth one lakh, the items in the high box were sold for Rs 1 lakh and 1 thousand, but for two months people could not withdraw money from it.
