One such case has come to light, in which a woman connected to the director of a company through a dating app trapped him in love and swindled 6 crore 52 lakh 51 thousand rupees through trading.
Dating app ruined him
Due to love and then investment on dating app, the director of a Delhi based company lost more than 6 crore 52 lakh 51 thousand rupees.

What is the whole matter?

First love, then betrayal, then emotionalization.

Later, he made the first investment of Rs 320000 and within a few hours, he made a profit of Rs 24000, which he also withdrew. This seemed right to him.
