A 48-year-old man from Maharashtra's Thane district lost nearly Rs 94 lakh after falling prey to a share trading scam, an official said on Wednesday.
The man from the Kalyan area was cheated between April 9 and May 21.
In his complaint, the man said he came across a WhatsApp group named ‘The Value Team A 13' where many members posed as “experts and dished out tips” on making money through the share market.
