Delhi Police busts a fake international call centre in west Delhi’s Ganesh Nagar, near Tilak Nagar. The cops have arrested seven people for allegedly duping foreigners on the pretext of offering technical assistance. They were use to rob by impersonating the technical support staff of a multinational firm.

DCP Urvija Goel spoke about the matter ‘the west district’s cyber cell unit received information that some people were running an international online cheating racket through a call centre at Ganesh Nagar.’ She continued explaining that it was also learnt to the officials that the racketeers were cheating people based in the US on the pretext of providing them technical support by projecting themselves as the official technical support staff of an e-commerce major. On Thursday, a police team raided the call centre and found seven people making calls by posing as genuine tech supporters of the firm. The DCP Goel added “The technical support scam begins with a pre-recorded call claiming that suspicious transactions have taken place in their account.”

The police explained who after persuading them to connect the scamsters gain access to their computers or mobiles to cheat them.
