Fake call centre busted in Noida, lured job seekers by promising offers on cruise ships abroad: Cops

The four men have been identified as Nitin Kumar (23) and Sachin Kumar (31), the brother duo residing in Ghaziabad’s Indirapuram; Aman Kumar (21), also a resident of Indirapuram; and Virendra Kumar (20), a resident of Sector 37 of Noida. After collecting the money via bank transfers or cash, the accused would allegedly switch off their phones and relocate the office to avoid detection, police said. Officers said the firm had no GST registration, and all transactions were routed through the personal bank accounts of the accused and their associates.

Police also said that a case has been registered against all four for cheating, forgery of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and along with relevant sections of the IT Act.

“We also recovered four laptops, eleven mobile phones, debit cards from 9 different banks, Rs.12,000 in cash, nine official-looking offer letters, three sets of scripts and sales pitches used to deceive victims, one forged medical centre document, one medical referral letter, five sets of fake medical certificates, and six candidate calling lists from the accused,” Gautam said.

The ADCP also said that the police are also looking into the criminal history of all the accused and how long they had been operating for. “Further investigation is underway,” he added.
