Cybercriminals have duped about Rs 5 lakh from two persons under Sector 4 and City police stations in Bokaro, police said on Sunday.
Ranvijay Singh and Rishi Nijhawan were cheated about Rs 4 lakh and Rs 1 lakh respectively. The amount was fraudulently withdrawn from their account. Cases have been registered at their concerned Police stations and police are investigating the matter.
Ranvijay filed a case against Gaurav and Sashibhushan Singh that they have fraudulently taken his ATM card and asked the PIN number from his wife. Later they changed the mobile number of the bank account after visiting Canara Bank branch and withdrew
Rs 4 lakh through multiple transactions.
While Rishi filed a case that he got a call from mobile no 9911655784, the caller claimed that he is calling from Naukri.com and asked him to deposit Rs 10, if he wants to get a job. The caller sent him a link and asked Rishi to click and make the payment.
After clicking the link, he was transferred to a website where Rishi tried a lot to transfer (online) Rs 10 from his credit card, but couldn’t succeed. After a few moments, Rs 99,978 was deducted from his credit card account
