NEW DELHI: A gang of cyber criminals prepared a fake website of a popular bank and even bought a “toll-free number” from an app to dupe people by offering “free, no-limit credit cards”. Five people, including a 19-year-old girl, have been arrested. Using a call centre run by three women, the gang directed a target to the fake website and asked him to fill in the details to link his existing credit card to the “new card” he was applying for. Seeing a toll-free number and the bank’s website, most people fell for the con and clicked on the link of the website sent to them by the gang. However, the link contained a malicious APK (software), which got downloaded automatically and made the details being filled by the victims visible to the crooks who used it to shop, transfer and spend online. The APK also enabled the crooks to read the OTP that came on a target’s phone. DCP (north) Sagar Singh Kalsi said a team led by ACP Dharmender Kumar and inspector Pawan Tomar had nabbed the suspects after an elaborate operation comprising technical and human surveillance. The cops started tracking the gang after receiving a complaint through the national cyber crime reporting portal in which a 45-year-old trader from Burari said he had lost around Rs 1.94 lakh as the amount was used through his credit card. Investigators found that the money had been transferred to different portals and wallets. Using technical surveillance, the cops first nabbed Atul Sharma (28), who led them to four more accused, Komal, Chandni, Zainab and Pradeep. The accused revealed that they used to start online transactions while reading the card details while a target was filling it up. The APK enabled them to read the OTP as well and the money was transferred to UPI IDs made on forged documents. The money was also used to buy expensive iPhones from online stores and an app was used for collecting the mobile phones and subsequently delivering them to prospective buyers.
