Priya, who lives in the Nehru Colony area of ​​Dehradun, received a call a few days ago. The person on the other end said that his credit card was about to be blocked. To continue it, he sent a link to Priya’s mobile. After a few seconds of clicking on it, when Priya saw the message of the account being empty on her mobile, she immediately reached the cyber police station.

Dehradun Cyber ​​Crime: Priya, living in the Nehru Colony area, received a call a few days ago. The person on the other end said that his credit card was about to be blocked. To continue it, he sent a link to Priya’s mobile. Within a few seconds of clicking on it, Priya’s account became empty.

When Priya saw the message of withdrawal of money from the account on her mobile, she immediately reached the cyber police station. When the police investigated the number from which Priya had received the call and the account to which the money was sent, it was found that both were on fake names and addresses.

Fake documents are used in most of the cyber fraud incidents.

This is not only in Priya’s case, but in most of the cyber fraud incidents, fake SIM and fake bank accounts are used. This challenge is becoming the biggest obstacle for the police in the way of catching cyber thugs. The web of cyber fraud is spreading rapidly. One small mistake and your bank account is wiped out in a jiffy.

Important facts came to light in the investigation of several incidents of cyber fraud.

The most important weapons of cyber thugs are bank accounts and mobile numbers. Investigation of many incidents of cyber fraud has revealed that in the same vicious manner in which these accused commit fraud, they also collect resources for the crime. This is the reason that when the police start searching for the swindlers after the incident, information about the numbers from which the fraud took place or the accounts to which the money was sent, is not available in time.

It is more difficult to detect incidents of fraud happening from abroad

Dehradun cyber station police have blocked three thousand such fake SIM cards. The irony is that SIM cards are easily available for Rs 50 to 100 with fake identity cards. Blocking such numbers is no less than a challenge for the police. Similarly, in the incidents of cyber fraud happening from abroad, fraudsters use fake IP addresses. Due to a lack of information about this, the police are not able to reach them.

Cyber ​​commandos getting ready to fight thugs

STF of Uttarakhand Police is preparing cyber commandos to crack down on cyber thugs. These commandos will not only investigate the incidents of cyber fraud but will also make the general public aware to avoid cyber fraud. Apart from this, advanced tools are also being developed to reach out to the fraudsters.

One has to be aware to avoid cyber fraud

STF SSP Ayush Aggarwal said that not only in the country but also cyber thugs sitting abroad are keeping a vulture eye on our hard-earned money. Therefore, we ourselves have to be cautious of cyber fraudsters.

Victim of fraud in the greed of earning thousands and lakhs of rupees

Told that most of the people become victims of fraud in the greed of earning thousands and lakhs of rupees sitting at home. Therefore, do not be greedy and share any personal information with anyone on internet media or email. Apart from this, cyber thugs ask for bank-related information by threatening to block the bank account. If you receive such a call, be careful, banks do not ask for account-related information over the phone.
