Man from Hyderabad Loses ₹2.38 Lakh in Online Part-Time Job Scam

A man from Hyderabad, who initially earned ₹500 through an online part-time job, ended up losing ₹2.38 lakh to fraudsters. The Hyderabad cyber crimes police have arrested two men in connection with the offence.

The accused individuals have been identified as Abdullah Farook Zhunzunya, 19, a resident of Gujarat and Mohammed Sohyab Bablu Khan, 27, a resident of Mumbai, Maharashtra, according to the police.

During the investigation, it was discovered that the victim received a message on WhatsApp about a work-from-home online job and initially received ₹500 as a bonus. However, the fraudsters manipulated him into ‘investing’ online and swindled him out of ₹2,38,405, as reported by the police.

Further probing revealed that the fraudsters maintained a single bank account with a balance of ₹4.5 crore. Their bank accounts were found to be linked to 42 cases across the country, including six cases in Telangana. Victims from Hyderabad in three cases collectively lost ₹1.2 crore, while another individual from Rachakonda was conned out of ₹65 lakh. Additionally, two more individuals in Cyberabad lost ₹10 lakh.

The modus operandi of the fraudsters involved crediting some money into the victim’s account to gain their trust before persuading them to transfer funds online in the name of an investment opportunity.

Two Men from Gujarat Arrested for Providing Bank Accounts to Cyber Fraudsters

In a separate case, the Cyber Crimes police in Hyderabad apprehended two men from Gujarat for providing bank accounts to online fraudsters involved in an online trading scam. The scammers duped a man from Hyderabad of ₹66.56 lakh.

The two individuals were identified as 26-year-old Thakor Kuldipsinh Arvind Kumar and 38-year-old Vaghela Ruturaj Ghanshyam Singh, as confirmed by the police.

According to officials, the victim fell prey to the scam under the guise of investing funds with an international company registered in South Africa. Following the fraudsters’ instructions, he ended up ‘investing’ by transferring a total of ₹66,56,350 to different bank accounts.
