A 65-year-old woman from Mumbai became the victim of a massive scam and lost Rs 1.3 crore after meeting a man on a dating app. The woman, who is a homemaker, had joined the dating app International Cupid in April 2023, where she met a man named Paul Rutherford. He told her he was an American civil engineer working in the Philippines. They started talking, and soon Rutherford shared a troubling story with her. He claimed there was an accident at his construction site, and to avoid getting arrested and deported to the U.S., he needed money. Believing his story, the woman started sending him money over the next few months. To make the transfers, she even used bitcoins, thinking it would help him out of his difficult situation. Rutherford promised to pay her back and said he had already sent her a package containing 2 million U.S. dollars through courier.
