DaniData was a Ponzi scheme whch preyed on the greed of gullible people. The App offered people the temptation of doubling their money in a short period of time.

All first time players were given a sum of 1111 rupees into their account so as to win their trust. They could use these funds to place bets on football matches. It was a MLM (Multi Level Marketing) scheme under which the person bringing in 10 people into the scheme also got commission.

One of the cunning ways in which the App gained the trust and confidence of the public is by associating the U. P. Police with it. There are photos of the police officials standing with the banner which gave the app credibility.

The App has now closed suddenly and even deleted itself from the Google playstore. The precise amount of loss cannot be calculated. However, given the large number of complaints filed, it appears to be a substantial figure running into several crore.

How to recover the money from the DaniData app.

Police complaints have been filed. Even the Cyber Crime police is looking into this. A few local officials of the App have been taken custody and re being interrogated. However, the problem is that the App was being managed from abroad. It is likely that even the mastermind behind the scam is abroad.

Further, while people used to deposit money in the Dani app through UPI, Phone-Pay, Google-Pay etc, it is likely that some, if not all, of the funds may have been transferred abroad and may not be available for seizure in India.

Anyway, assuming that the funds are seized from the scamsters of the Dani App, it is important that all persons who contributed funds into the app should keep their records and proof of payment carefully. This will become necessary when the Police or the Courts order a distribution of the funds to the victims.

According to the ZEE News, the app was very popular in Vadodara for some time now. People used to deposit money in this app and bets were made on domestic and international football matches in this app. Investing in this app called hot and 3.3 was earning very high interest. Three times a day, hot games and a game called 3.3 would cost Rs. 225 per day and Rs. People were investing in football games.

In this app, linking with PAN card and bank details app also withdrew people’s money. On the 11th to the 8th of the month, 10% was deducted for withdrawing money from Sukhi app, while on the 9th and 10th of the month, the entire money was credited to the account for withdrawal. So people were withdrawing money on the 9th and 10th of the month. Thus, this month too, when people were waiting for the 9th, when the app was shut down, the money of the people has been paid and it is the turn of the people to cry with red water.

Zee also stated that Vadodara cyber expert Mayur Bhusalvakar ha stated that the Danidata app was run from abroad and involves a scam of Rs. 200 to 300 crore. If people complain to the police, many scams can be exposed. In this incident, information is coming across that many officers and employees have also invested in the app. People are not complaining to the police because the Danidata football app is not legal.
