In his complaint, the Nerul resident said he was contacted by some people who promised him excellent returns if he traded in gold through their website. The accused allegedly persuaded the complainant to shell out Rs 28.35 lakh between October and November of this year.

However, when he neither received any returns nor got back the invested money, the man approached the cyber police of Navi Mumbai on Thursday. A case has been registered against owners of three mobile numbers and a website host but no arrests have been made yet, the official added.
