3 arrested for cheating youths after promising jobs

The Delhi Police's crime branch has arrested three men for allegedly cheating unemployed youths through a fake call centre in East Delhi's Laxmi Nagar area.
The arrests were made after a complaint from an M.Com final-year student from Bhubneshwar in Odisha was received by the crime branch in March this year. The girl student alleged that she was duped of Rs 8,800 by a job site.
During preliminary investigation, crime branch sleuths analysed call records of mobile phones used by the accused and the bank account in which money was deposited by the complainant, said Ramgopal Naik, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch).

Policemen later located the fake call centre in Laxmi Nagar area. The three accused were arrested by a crime branch team from there on May 3, he said.
"The accused used to trap unemployed youths from all over the country through a website, zeeobs.Com. Later, they were contacted through the fake call centre and directed to deposit money in a bank account opened in the name of M/s Showvis Live. The account showed that in the past four months, small deposits totalling Rs 30 lakh were made from various parts of the country," said the officer.
The raid at the call centre led to the recovery of six mobile phones, 10 landline phones, computers with printers, 25 credit and debit cards and seven PAN cards.

Police said the gang has been operating since 2014. The gang had to shift its base from Noida in 2016.
