Binance Helps Bust ₹1.75 Cr Cross-Border Crypto Scam in India

The post Binance Helps Bust ₹1.75 Cr Cross-Border Crypto Scam in India appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Binance and Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Branch recently exposed a major scam network in a joint crackdown. The scam targeted victims across South and Southeast Asia and was worth over $200,000 (₹1.75 crore). The fraud is part of a rising “digital arrest” fraud trend, where fake legal threats are used to target victims. “Digital Arrest” Scams on the Rise One of the cases involved a 90-year-old man from Gujarat, who lost ₹1.25 crore after scammers falsely told him that he was in legal trouble. In another case, a young jobseeker was tricked into going to Nepal with a fake job offer. He was held captive and was forced to move ₹49 lakh through crypto wallets. Scammers are getting smarter — but so are the tools to stop them. Criminals tried to launder stolen funds through crypto — but the blockchain left a trail.

They tracked wallet activity, spotted suspicious transactions, and helped police make arrests. A senior officer from Ahmedabad Cyber Crime highlighted that the case shows how advanced cyber scams are becoming and why global cooperation is important. In a case similar to the 90-year-old Gujarat victim, another man in Ahmedabad was arrested for helping run a ₹22 lakh digital arrest scam. He facilitated the fraud by ‘renting out’ his bank account to move stolen funds, which made it harder to trace the money. This tactic of “renting” bank accounts is common in such scams and helps criminals hide their tracks. As these frauds often cross borders and move money quickly, fast action and strong coordination between police and crypto platforms are key to stopping them. In these digital arrest scams, fraudsters often pose as police or government officials to scare victims into sending money. The funds are often moved through crypto wallets or fake bank accounts to hide their source. This is a growing trend and serves as a reminder to stay alert in the hyper-connected world. Every Crypto Move Leaves a Trace A regional lead at Binance South Asia official noted that every crypto transaction leaves a trace. He adds that this case proves as an example that when used the right way, blockchain can actually help fight crime. The investigation is still ongoing and more arrests are expected as authorities uncover more of the global scam network. Binance’s FIU works closely with law enforcement by analyzing suspicious transactions and sharing quick, useful insights. In 2024 alone, Binance responded to over 65,000 law enforcement requests around the world.
