Kingpin of Cybercrime gang in Jamtara arrested by UP Cyber Police
By MYBRANDBOOK
Cyber Crime Police of Uttar Pradesh has arrested the fraudsters from Jamtara who were running the fake banking and KYC syndicate. Police are verifying their bank accounts and assets they made and are also trying to identify other associates of the gang.
The gang made over Rs 20 cr by cheating thousands of customers in the name of credit card-telcom KYC verification by making them download remote access apps like Anydesk. The gang was involved in various calling fraud and had cheated a Ghaziabad resident of Rs 2.12 Lakh on the pretext of KYC verification of his mobile phone.
The group requests their targets to download applications such as Anydesk, TeamViewer, or QuickSupport, often known as screen-casting applications that are designed for remote desktop connectivity and system control via Android devices.
Prof Triveni Singh, Superintendent of Police, Cyber Crime, said that the typical mode of operation in such scams includes the customer receiving unsolicited communication, such as calls, SMSs, emails, and so on, urging him or her to share certain personal details, account / login details/ card information, PIN, OTP, and so on, or installing some unauthorised/ unverified application for KYC updation using a link provided in the communication.
Prof Triveni said, “They will request a nine-digit remote desk code, which will show on your screen after you install the software. Once the app is downloaded, criminals can see everything happening on your screen. Scammers can see your screen and record your every move on your phone if you reveal this code. When you make an online payment/transaction with Paytm, UPI, BHIM, or another service, your personal information is stolen. They will record the PIN you enter in order to complete the payment procedure.”
After extensive search, cybercrime police tracked Pradeep Mandal of Dumka, Jharkhand. Dumka is said to be the hub of such types of cybercrimes. Pradeep’s uncle Pramod Mandal was one of the cybercriminals of the area and was arrested by Lucknow police last year. After his arrest, Pradeep was running the syndicate and was hiring people across India.
