The gang was busted following a complaint by Sumit Saini, a resident of Begampur, with the cyber cell stating that he had been duped Rs 2.57 lakh online.
"The investigation has revealed that all phone calls made to Saini were from Delhi. The suspects had formed a fake call center to make crank calls to potential job seekers," said Sumit Kuhar, DCP crime.
The kingpin of the fake job racket, identified as Surya Pratap, was earlier employed with a private bank in Gurgaon. He was arrested on Wednesday from Sector-18 in Noida during a raid.
The police said the trio lured Saini by offering him a job in Dubai.
"They then asked him to deposit Rs 15,000 as fees. Saini's bank details were also obtained by the suspects. The victim later found that Rs 2.57 lakh was missing from his account. He tried to contact the trio but in vain," a police officer said.
The matter is being probed, he said, adding that around 30 persons have been duped by the gang in the city and Delhi.
