Rishabh Sharma, once a vegetable seller, turned to fraudulent work-from-home schemes after facing financial losses during the pandemic.
In just six months, Rishabh managed to trick people out of a massive Rs 21 crore, becoming a central figure in 37 fraud cases across 10 Indian states and assisting in 855 other scams.
Rishabh created a fake website resembling Marriott Bonvoy hotel's and offered fake job opportunities to write reviews, luring victims into investing more money with false promises.
It is suspected that Rishabh might have collaborated with criminal groups from countries like China and Singapore to send the stolen money using secret methods.
