Don't fall for below fraud message. The Delhi Police’s Cyber Crime Unit has arrested 65 persons for allegedly cheating hundreds of people under the pretense of paying their electricity bills.
Clicking on the link in message either directs to a telecaller or to a website where their details are taken to make the payment. The telecallers often pose as BSES officials and ask for bank account details and install remote access software.
Once the details are shared, the fraudster transfers the amount from the victim’s account to the fake accounts using the remote access software.
Cyber Crime officials said many modules work in tandem - First, people looking for SIM cards are scammed and their details are sent to the gang. Their personal details are used to create bank accounts to receive the cheated money. The gang then sends bulk messages to people, telling them about pending electricity bills.
