Bihar Cybercrime: Cyber goons form syndicate in Muzaffarpur, students are also exploited
Bihar Cybercrime: Muzaffarpur cyber fraud cases continue to rise. Information Technology literate youths are given information about cyber fraud at divisional and district level and are appointed as trainers. Gangs of cyber thugs based in bordering countries are using college students to scam them through fake Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, account opening, mobile cloning and links. Due to this, sometimes for job opportunity, sometimes asking to increase the marks in the exam, they get scammed by calling it as part-time job. This can be learned from the fact that a gang of deadly cyber goons from various police station areas in the district have swindled more than Rs.6 crores in eight months. But the police have taken action in many cases and kept the amount in abeyance. Many criminals have also been arrested, but this gang is so active that when a criminal is caught, they immediately change their location and pattern of fraud. Keeping an eye on all social media platforms simultaneously: Once cyber fraud gang members are trained, they keep an eye on various social media platforms. They know that nowadays teenagers spend at least four to five hours of screen time on social media. In such a situation, they are tempted to work part-time and invest in the stock market. Once caught in the net, they are added to groups on WhatsApp and Telegram. The evil people associated with this group are already here.
