Salumbar, Rajasthan: In a shocking cross-border cyber fraud case, Rajasthan police have busted a fake call center and arrested three young men involved in duping American citizens. The accused, including one from Jaipur and two from Mizoram, allegedly lured people with promises of low-interest loans and executed large-scale scams.
How the Scam Operated
The cyber criminals ran a fraudulent call center, reaching out to residents in the United States, offering loans at attractive rates. Victims were persuaded to provide personal and financial information, only to be defrauded. Police said that through this operation, the accused successfully carried out multiple fraudulent transactions.
Arrest and Seizure
The Salumbar police, assisted by the Cyber Cell and DST teams, conducted a raid at Bhagya Shri Hotel in Devgaon, where the accused were staying. The arrested youths have been identified as:
- Akshay Sharma, son of Kailash Chandra Sharma, from Jhotwara, Jaipur
- Lalramluna, resident of Aizawl, Mizoram
- H. Johmgehia, resident of Aizawl, Mizoram
During the raid, police seized laptops, mobile phones, headphones, and internet routers, which were allegedly used to carry out the cyber scams. Interrogation revealed that the accused were working for Bhavin Makwana from Ahmedabad, who arranged their accommodation and managed the call center operations.
Ongoing Investigation
Police continue to question the suspects to uncover the full scale of the fraud and identify any accomplices. Authorities have warned the public to remain vigilant against similar scams, particularly those offering unusually low-interest loans or investment opportunities.
