• A Mumbai woman lost Rs 4 lakh in an online stock trading scam after joining a Telegram group for "expert" tips.
• The scam lured her with small initial payments and fake profit screenshots, building false trust.
• She transferred money in multiple installments over three days (Dec 22-25) to various UPI IDs and bank accounts.
• After investing Rs 3.8 lakh, her withdrawal requests were ignored, and the "mentors" vanished.
