Scammer Sukhwinder Singh (Social Beast) committed fraud totaling over 2,00,000 in one week across India.
Scammer Sukhwinder Singh from Punjab runs a fake company called Social Beast, where he provides all of the expensive tools at a lower price through piracy, which is a crime under Section 415 of the IPC, and anyone who cheats faces a one-year prison sentence, a fine, or both. He defrauded over 100 people by accepting payments in his IndusInd bank account under the name Sukhwinder Singh.
Victim contacted many people whom he had scammed out of thousands of rupees in the name of providing tools, which he never did and would simply take the money and not answer calls or messages. He gets clients from Facebook, where he runs ads about his scamming business and fraud company Social Beast (FB Ad ID: 217984391402956). He began running ads on February 8, 2024. He used money he stole from clients to buy Facebook ads and get more leads on WhatsApp. Once the client approached him, he offered expensive tools at a lower price and scammed them. He also committed a crime under Section 420 of the IPC: cheating and dishonestly inducing the delivery of property.
He abuses the client after receiving the advance money and does not respond after the payment is completed. People who were defrauded by scammer Sukhwinder Singh are upset because they lost their hard-earned money and lost their trust in buying from online sellers. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told us to help grow Digital India by buying from small online business owners, but there are people like scammer Sukhwinder Singh who scam people online and earn 2,00,000 inr in just one week.
The complainant was duped out of 1,400 INR by scammer Sukhwinder Singh, who also duped 100 other victims.
