India Nov 10, 2025

A 42-year-old from Bengaluru lost over ₹1.29 crore after being targeted by scammers on the Quack Quack dating app earlier this month.
The fraudsters convinced him to invest in a website, promising big returns from international stock markets.
He realized it was a scam when neither his money nor any profits showed up, and reported the incident to police on November 7.
