A 39-year-old doctor attached to a south Mumbai hospital has been duped by cyber fraudsters via the like-and-earn scam. The doctor has said that he got a message on WhatsApp about an opportunity to work part-time from home where he just had to like videos and complete several tasks to earn a handsome amount whenever he was free.

The case has been referred to the Gamdevi police. As per the doctor’s statement, after clicking on the message, the Telegram app was opened. According to the police, Chinese fraudsters then started communicating with him, and he was asked to complete several tasks. “I was being told that the more one invested, the greater the returns on completing tasks,” the doctor said in his statement.
