Cyber thugs are dodging the police with an app made in China. Through this app, the fraudsters get an alert in advance as to which account the police is going to freeze. This is the reason why Rajasthanis have been defrauded of Rs 3 billion 38 crore in 9 months. Till now the police have done only 2 taxes
.
This shocking revelation has been made by Ankit Sharma, the mastermind of cyber fraud of Rs 122 crore who was caught by Bhiwadi Police. Ankit used to take bank accounts on rent and make them available to the thugs sitting in China. He told during interrogation that all the accounts in which the fraudulent money was deposited were linked to that software. You can see live how much money is being deposited in which account and how much has been withdrawn.
After receiving the complaint, if the cyber police tried to freeze those accounts, it would have been known in advance through that software (app).
Bhaskar investigated the gang’s cheating pattern. Read in Sunday Big Story – How cyber thugs are two steps ahead of the police.
Wires connected to China and Dubai, agents in Rajasthan If police sources are to be believed, the entire cyber fraud operation is being carried out on a large scale on foreign soil. Most of the gangs operate from China, Dubai and South-East Asian countries. Thugs sitting abroad prepare their agents in India. Then they lure them with fixed commission. Who these thugs are can never be known, because these people never talk to Indian agents on phone. Stay in touch only through chat through Telegram and WhatsApp. Recently, the agent caught from Bhiwadi also admitted during police interrogation that the company for which he was working to collect rent on accounts was being operated from China.
Keep news of every account through LIVE app Investigation revealed that an in-house member of the gang ‘Live-App’ Which tracks Mule accounts (bank accounts used to transfer fraudulent money) in real-time. It tells the gang how much money has come into which account, which account has been frozen by the police and which account can be withdrawn now.
This screen-level control keeps the gang two steps ahead – Suppose someone has been cyber cheated, if he complains about it immediately, then there is a possibility of recovering the cheated amount by freezing the account as soon as possible. But cyber thugs are two steps ahead of the police through their app.
The fraudsters also take access to the mobile numbers and mail IDs of the accounts they rent. This is why whenever the police freezes an account during action, a mail is sent to it. These thugs also keep an eye on that mail.
As soon as an account is frozen or falls in the banned category, the amount is immediately shifted to another account. Many times, despite the bank freezing the accounts, the money has gone missing. Access to this live app is also given to agents sitting in India. In it, agents are able to see how much money has been transferred from their given account and how much commission is being made.
Buying US dollars at expensive rates for quick money transfer According to cyber experts, whenever money goes into an account after fraud, the fraudsters try to convert it into international currency as soon as possible. When the fraudulent amount was deposited into a bank account, the gang would convert it into dollars or any other currency before it was frozen. For this, gangs buy crypto or US dollars even at expensive prices. For example, it was also seen that the gang is ready to buy USDT which is sold for Rs 93 by paying up to Rs 100, because their aim is to dispose of the money as soon as possible.
For this, the gang uses OTC/exchange-based apps like Coin App, Shopee App, Apptop App etc. Dollar or other currency exchange is fast on these apps. By the time the police alerts the bank, the fraudsters have already converted the entire money before the golden hour. Later the fraudsters convert this money into crypto currency.
According to police sources, the gangs are sending crores of rupees abroad by doing crypto-laundering on a large scale. They make them part of the network by promising a commission of up to 3% on every transaction in exchange for rented accounts.
An open matter like this? Bhiwadi Police has exposed the gang involved in fraud of more than Rs 122 crore and arrested the main accused Ankit Sharma, son of Mahendra Sharma. Following the complaint by Cyber Portal 1908, its three associates were arrested by the police on September 21. After interrogating him, Bhiwadi police arrested mastermind Ankit. Ankit is a resident of Baghpat, UP. Presently he was living in Shalimar Bagh area of Delhi. Ankit has done graduation. Earlier he used to do small jobs. He has been active in cyber fraud for the last 6 to 7 years. He has made this his main profession.
Police investigation revealed that Ankit had been selling bank accounts, ATMs and check books of people and fake firms to cyber thugs on commission for a long time. Through these accounts, the money withdrawn through online fraud was circulated across the country. Police have seized 38 check books, 20 ATM cards, 9 mobile phones, 8 QR codes, swipe machines and Rs 2.5 lakh cash from the accused.
