Tantrik Baba’s Trading Scam Exposed | Fraud Story of a ‘Tantrik Baba’ | Fake Finfluencers Ep-22
This shocking story takes us into the world of “Tantrik Baba” scams, where desperate individuals seeking quick stock market returns fall prey to fraudulent schemes. Imagine being promised the ability to “predict” future stock prices—at a hefty price.
This video uncovers the truth behind the so-called “Tantrik Baba” Vikas Taramani and his elaborate scam, where victims lost millions in hope of earning rapid wealth.
Here’s how this bizarre and tragic story unfolded:
💰 The Promise of Guaranteed Wealth
Tantrik Baba’s Claims: Vikas Taramani, self-proclaimed as a “Tantrik Baba,” promised his followers access to secret, mystical knowledge that could supposedly forecast stock market movements.
The Catch: Baba charged a “guru fee” of ₹1.07 lakhs per person, claiming this amount would unlock his “mystical” stock trading abilities.
Meeting Location: Followers were summoned to a remote location in Rajasthan, with travel and accommodation expenses covered entirely by the victims themselves.
🛤️ The Journey of False Hope
Expensive Logistics: Victims spent thousands traveling to Rajasthan, staying in a resort near Baba’s fake “darbar” (royal court), unaware of the dubious reality that awaited them.
An Unusual Ritual: Upon arrival, they witnessed a staged spectacle—Taramani’s setup as a revered guru, complete with followers worshipping him. The victims were instructed to perform bizarre acts like washing his feet and providing personal care.
😴 A Demanding, Exhausting Regimen
Restricted Sleep: Victims reported being deprived of sleep, only allowed 3-4 hours each night while following demanding routines. This tactic likely served to keep them disoriented and compliant.
Physical and Mental Strain: Many victims were placed on constant duty, guarding the premises or performing tasks for Baba, further embedding them into his elaborate scheme.
💸 Losses and False Promises
Financial Losses: Each victim ended up losing substantial amounts. For this group of 20 students, total losses reached a staggering ₹40 lakhs.
No Returns, Just Empty Words: Instead of learning stock trading secrets, the followers were left with nothing but unfulfilled promises, drained finances, and a sense of betrayal.
🕵️ The Victims’ Testimony
First Impressions: Many victims initially trusted Baba’s charismatic assurances, only to realize later that it was all a well-orchestrated scam.
Emotional Manipulation: Fear and superstition played a significant role—several victims were initially afraid of Baba’s “ill-wishes” should they speak out or go against him.
Overcoming Fear: Our interviews revealed that once they left the bizarre environment, their fears faded, and they began to understand the manipulation they had experienced.
🛑 The Bigger Picture: A Warning Against Greed and Scam Culture
A Broader Issue: This case highlights a disturbing trend where scammers exploit the stock market’s reputation to prey on unsuspecting individuals.
Stock Market is Not the Enemy: While scams often happen in the name of investing, the stock market itself is a place of opportunity—when approached with knowledge, caution, and understanding.
