Here it is to be noted that according to Korke, they would contact American Nationals by using Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) calls or through Emails and informed them that their computer has been detected with malware. They would then offer them a software to eliminate the virus from their computers. Once the Americans started responding to their schemes, they would then ask them to buy a gift card through an online portal by sharing a certain gift card number with them. Once the executive procured the 16 digit card number, it would be shared with an Indian agent who then converted the American currency into Indian rupees.

However, an officer said "This week, the Mumbai High Court rejected Saxena's anticipatory bail application as she surrendered herself at Killa court and we immediately took her custody for further investigation,". According to the police, Alfonso had contacted Shahu before starting his own call centre. Shahu gave him all the call records of American citizens and toll-free numbers which helped Alfonso start the call centre in March 2018. Saxena is a small-time model and a partner of Alfonso.
