geovalin Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Three people including the Indian mastermind of Tamil Nadu and Cambodia-based “hi-tech extortion gang” have been arrested by the police following complaints by several social media users. The accused used fake police notice and browser pop-up window to extract money from Indian citizens, claiming it to be a fine for browsing pornographic material, which is prohibited in India. UPI payment and QR codes were used to extort money from innocent citizens and then transferred to Cambodia using more than 20 bank accounts. The racket came to light when several social media users informed the police about a notice, which they had allegedly received from the police, regarding blockage of all their files due to watching pornographic material on their computers, according to senior police officer Aniesh Roy. The victims were then asked to pay ₹ 3,000 fine for the illegal activity, Mr Roy said. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50901904/nabbed-cambodia-based-hi-tech-extortion-gang-from-india/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
