    The Cyberabad Cyber Crime police caught a person involved in dating fraud. The person extorted Rs 4 lakh from a man by making a fake social media account.

    Megaraj Dinesh, who lives in Vanasthalipuram in Rangareddy district, created a fake user ID using a woman’s profile on the ‘QuackQuack’ dating app. He pretended to be a woman named Swetha Shetty and tricked the victim into sending him money under false pretenses.

    After receiving a complaint, the police investigated the case and registered it under various sections of the law. The fraudster is skilled at creating fake profiles on dating apps like QuackQuack, Tinder, Bumble, Cupid, and Indian Dating. He would pretend to be a girl, chat with the victim, and manipulate them by sending fake photos and other content.
