On June 10, 2025, Advocate Shabnam Mohammad Hussain Syed, a resident of BDD Chawl in Worli, Mumbai, discovered a series of fraudulent articles and videos that falsely associated popular Bollywood singer Neha Kakkar with an investment platform called FXOnet. The scammers, who went by the names Vijay and Jimmy D'Souza, portrayed the platform as "trusted and legal" and used Kakkar's image to lend credibility to their operations.

Over the course of several months, from June 18 to October 9, 2025, Syed transferred a total of Rs 5,02,025 through UPI to various bank accounts linked to entities such as Rajesh Kannan, VPI ProMedia Kigali, India Impex Trading Company, and VPI 361 VPECOM.
