Dating, followed by cheating
On July 1, 2026, a 23-year-old private employee from Hyderabad’s Manikonda was allegedly duped of Rs 3.28 lakh in a dating app scam after a woman recorded an intimate video call and blackmailed him with threats of circulating the footage on social media.
The man approached the cybercrime unit of the Cyberabad police and filed a complaint stating that the fraudster appeared naked and persuaded the victim to remove his clothes during their call.
She captured screenshots and recorded the video before threatening to upload the intimate content and circulate it among his Instagram followers unless he paid money. To avoid public humiliation, the victim transferred Rs 3,28,500 to a bank account provided by the fraudster.
