💨 Abstract

Marathi actor Sagar Karande was defrauded of over Rs 61 lakh by cybercriminals who promised him money for liking Instagram videos. This is an instance of 'task' fraud, where scammers offer repetitive tasks such as liking videos or rating products, followed by requests for large investments for higher returns. Karande lodged a complaint with the North Region Cyber police station on Monday.
