Thane police busted a call centre that was cheating foreign people. They did this during a late night raid. Caught five people. The police went to a building in Thane because they got a tip that something suspicious was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police said that the fake call centre was pretending to help people in countries with their computer problems. They were mainly targeting people in the United States and Europe. The people who worked at the call centre were saying they worked for companies and were tricking people into paying them money to fix problems that were not real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How the Scam Worked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The police found out that the people at the call centre were using a system to make calls to other countries. They were hiding where they really were. They would tell people that their computers or bank accounts had been hacked. Sometimes they would even threaten to take them to court if they did not do what they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The people at the call centre were getting people to send them money through gift cards or online payments. The police think that the call centre had been doing this for a months and might have cheated a lot of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seizure of Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When the police raided the call centre they took away a lot of computers, phones and other equipment. They also found papers and scripts that the people at the call centre were using. Now the police are looking at all the evidence to see how big the scam was and where the money went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The police are asking the people they caught about their roles in the scam. They want to know who was in charge of the money and who was talking to people in countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n International Coordination Likely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the people who got cheated are from countries the police might work with other countries to get to the bottom of this. Experts who deal with cybercrime say that these kinds of scams are getting more and more complicated. They are using layers to hide what they are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Growing Concern Over Cyber Fraud<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The police in Thane are keeping an eye out for more scams like this. They have found call centres like this in many places, including Maharashtra. They are cheating people by using the internet. Are very good at hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The police are telling people to be careful when they get calls from people who say they are from banks or tech companies. They should check the companys website to make sure the call is real and not give out information, over the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The police are still. Might catch more people who were involved in the scam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thane police busted a call centre that was cheating foreign people.
