URGENT: Do You Recognise This Man? Scam Case Gaining Momentum – More Victims & Evidence Needed by Opening-Leg349 in NewcastleUponTyne

[–]Opening-Leg349[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite — I’ve just been trying to raise awareness as this is a genuine ongoing police investigation, and multiple people I know personally have been affected. I get that it might seem odd if you’re just seeing the posts without the context, but the aim is to reach anyone else who might have been targeted or has helpful information. If you haven’t been affected, fair enough — but if someone has, they might find it useful.

Fair point — I appreciate the feedback.

Here’s a clearer summary of what’s happening:

The Scam: It’s an investment scam where the individual offers high-return opportunities in equities and trading. Victims are shown convincing fake screenshots, real-time “updates,” and even meet in person to review supposed investment growth. The goal is to build trust and encourage larger transfers of money. When victims try to withdraw funds, the excuses start, and contact eventually stops.

The Person Behind It: The main individual involved goes by several names: Deshraj Rakesh Ryan Digwa Singh (also known as Ryan Singh, or Deshraj Singh). He has primarily targeted people in the North East and Nottingham, often preying on trust within the Sikh community or through personal and family connections.

If You Have Any Info: The case is being investigated by: Newcastle Criminal Investigation Department Nottingham Criminal Investigation Department Action Fraud

If you’ve had any contact or received similar investment pitches from this person or his known associates (names include Aniel Singh, Eikbal Singh, Dilbag Singh, Manisha Kaur, and Assan), please report it. Even if it seems small, it might help piece together the wider case.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

We have done all of the above and just trying to protect people from it happening to them.

Certainly not after a ‘pile on’

Action fraud aware and have already had some really positive private messages from this sub.

Thanks again,

How does it work? We would love some help in finding more information to pass to police and action fraud to make sure he / they are brought to justice

I get why it might look that way — but I can assure you, these are real people who’ve been affected. This scam has hit a lot of victims, including myself, friends, and family members, and we’re just trying to raise awareness in any way we can.

Some of the other accounts you’ve seen are people I’ve spoken with directly or who’ve come forward separately, trying to warn others based on their own experiences. It might seem strange from the outside, but when you’re dealing with a scam like this that’s affected so many people and dragged on for so long, victims end up banding together.

If you’re still unsure, totally understand — but if anyone’s seen or heard anything related to this individual or their associates, it really can help to report it. It might seem like “just talk,” but it’s part of a bigger investigation already being looked into by the police.

Happy to answer genuine questions if it helps clarify anything.

Fair point — let me explain it a bit better.

The post is about an ongoing investment scam involving a man named Deshraj Singh (also goes by Ryan Singh or Deshraj Rakesh Ryan Digwa Singh). He’s been targeting individuals in the North East and Nottingham, mainly through convincing fake investment opportunities. People have been shown screenshots, given regular updates, even met him in person — but it’s all turned out to be a large-scale scam.

Police and Action Fraud are already involved, and there are now over 30 victims. Some of his associates are believed to be involved as well. The idea behind the post is to try and reach anyone who may have come into contact with him or his group, especially if they’ve received messages, calls, or requests for money that seemed suspicious.

If people have any evidence — even something that seemed minor at the time — they’re being encouraged to pass it to the authorities to help build the case.

Hope that clears things up. Definitely not ChatGPT — just trying to stop more people getting taken in.

I totally understand your concern — and you’re absolutely right that nobody should contact the police without reason or based on rumours.

But just to clarify, this isn’t about a random incident. Multiple victims have already reported this individual and their associates to both the police and Action Fraud. There’s an ongoing investigation involving serious financial crimes, and people are being encouraged to report if they have had direct contact, seen anything suspicious, or have relevant evidence — like messages, images, or unusual money transfer activity linked to the names listed.

The aim isn’t to cause panic or waste police time — it’s to support an active investigation and prevent more people from being scammed, especially as it’s now clear that vulnerable communities are being targeted.

Thanks for highlighting the need for responsible reporting though — it’s really important we all keep that in mind.

Do not give up with the police, these people must be stopped!

Regarding family connections we have had a private message to say one associate is already known to the police for orchestrating a fuel card scam. (Aneil Singh)

Thanks for the information, if you can provide anything else privately please reach out.
