CBI busts call centre defrauding US citizens, four held
The arrested accused have been identified as Harish Kumar, Amit Kumar, Rakesh Kumar Athotra and Raj Kumari.
CBI had registered a case in this matter in June last year. (Express Photo/File) As a part of its crackdown on fake call centres defrauding US citizens, the CBI Thursday busted another such call centre leading to the recovery of over Rs 3 crore in cash, foreign currencies and other materials and the arrest of four persons. The agency conducted searches at four different locations across Delhi NCR in this regard.
The arrested accused have been identified as Harish Kumar, Amit Kumar, Rakesh Kumar Athotra and Raj Kumari.
“During search, a fake tech support call centre was found where the accused/other person was allegedly involved in online-cheating of US citizens impersonating the tech support executives. They were allegedly receiving leads from their source and on these leads they would call potential targets in the USA via Textnow application and take control of their systems using remote access software like Any Desk on the pretext of solving issues,” a CBI statement said.
