NEW DELHI: A gang, which was duping people by offering services like activation of 5G or credit cards, has been busted. Three of its members have been arrested. They were using FASTag wallets to receive the cheated money. The accused were identified as Mohammad Zahid, Pawan Singh and Ravi Mittal. “Zahid was managing the fake accounts arranged by the kingpin of the gang, Singh, an engineering dropout. They were using FASTag wallets to receive the cheated money. Mittal was using several vehicle numbers and the gang used to withdraw the money at petrol pumps in Haryana and Chandigarh,” police said. The accused used to call customers of different banks on the pretext of activation of credit cards, increasing the limit of credit cards, and waiving off annual charges. Once the customer got lured, they used to get details like the card number and OTP. The accused then used to get the duped money transferred into FASTag wallets. They had colluded with some petrol pump operators to encash the cheated amount.
