Delhi Police cracks Pan India Cyber ​​Fraud Syndicate

The Delhi police disassembled a cyber fraud union operating in India and arrested three key band members for creating fake bank sites and phishing links to deceive themselves.

The accused used advanced digital techniques to steal sensitive banking information, which led to a widespread financial fraud, he said.

“Gang has targeted people by involving the representatives of a renowned bank, offering lucrative credit card offers. The victims were sent to phishing connections that guided them to counter the bank sites designed to collect their personal and financial information, “said Deputy Police Commissioner (Northern Exterior), Nidhin Valsan.

The officer also said that the fraudsters used the Desktop protocol (RDP) to hide their fingerprints and worked through fraudulent hosting platforms to run their deception.

The police have linked over 500 complaints to this scam through a portal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is believed that the gang has created more than 10 phishing sites for their fraudulent operations. “One of the charges obtained hundreds of SIM books paying people with low incomes between Rs 300 and 500 RS on the card, later destroying them to delete digital traces,” said DCP. The repression was initiated after a complaint was received on February 11 through the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP).

The applicant, Harikesh Kumar Yadav from Siraspur, Delhi, reported a fraudulent transaction of 21,400 RS after receiving a phishing bond disguised in the private bank credit card. He later said his other credit card for unauthorized transactions, he said.

Following the complaint, an investigation was ordered and a wire was registered. The raids were made in several locations in Delhi, including the Vihar, Shiv Vihar and Village Tatsar.

The police arrested three accused, identified as Jaideep Kumar (31 years old), a technological frauduler in Java, HTML, CSS and Reactjs. He had previous cyber fraud accusations and was previously arrested by the special cell/IFSO; Ajay (27 years old), a school dropout, but well versed in credit card and other financial scams; and Rakesh Rajararam Jaiswal (33 years old), known for his persuasive communication skills, previously arrested in a Cyber ​​fraud in Faridabad. “During the interrogation, the suspects initially refused to cooperate. However, sufficient digital and financial evidence have led to their arrest. The frauds contacted the victims, offering new credit cards. They sent phishing links via SMS or Email, who redirected users to false bank sites, where their credentials were stolen. In order to bypass the security measures, the accused tricked the victims to download malicious applications that intercepted OTPs, allowing unauthorized transactions, ”said DCP.

The officer said that Jaideep used Duckdns to set up fraudulent fields and built fake PHP-based sites. Rakesh operated the call center, while Ajay came from SIM cards for illicit use. Teams recovered 11 mobile phones and a laptop containing critical evidence of phishing operations and fraudulent transactions. “We are actively pursuing the master, a known criminal from Delhi, with prior involvement in crime and violent crimes. The investigation is in progress, ”he added.
