Imagine you’re down on your luck, maybe need a quick loan or some help with a lapsed insurance policy. Then, a friendly voice on the phone offers the perfect solution. But it’s all a mirage and lies, designed to drain your wallet and dash your hopes.
Noida police last week arrested two from a fake call centre in the city for allegedly duping people on the pretext of facilitating bank loans or reviving lapsed insurance policies.
How They Cheated People?
Police said that the two would call up citizens using a database.
“They lured those in need of loan from banks or those seeking revival of lapsed insurance policies or return of money on lapsed policies,” Additional DCP Noida Shakti Mohan Avasthy told news agency PTI.
Once a gullible person showed interest, they would ask them for money on the pretext of file charge or processing charge, etc. and then go inaccessible.
The two were operating from the facility located in the city’s Sector 2 under Phase 2 police station area and arrested on Friday.
Police said six phones, 24 calling sheets and Rs 500 in cash were seized from their possession.
