Cyber thief: Seam of only one hundred rupees and theft of crores
Don't rely on social media links or WhatsApp calls
New Delhi: On May 28 this year, a call was received from the customer care of a private bank on the Ladakh front. He tricked me into charging a surcharge on my credit card. On May 29, the phone rang again and ten rupees were deducted in the name of blocking my credit card. Then in the evening of the same day about 46 thousand rupees flew from my account. Cyber expert Amit Dubey shows that cyber fraud is carried out in a highly organized manner. Cyber fraudsters change SIM cards in a week. People do not even know that a SIM card has been issued in their name.
A few months ago, 16,000 prepaid activated SIM cards were seized in Odisha. When people did not even know that SIM cards have been issued in their name. Getting a SIM card and opening an account in other countries of the world is a big challenge.
In our country, if the people in the village get government subsidy, they set up stalls there by spending 100 or 200 rupees. The villagers reach there with support. A fingerprint is issued to the SIM card in their name and the account is opened without their knowledge.
According to cyber experts, any criminal needs only two things to commit cyber fraud. SIM card and bank account number. KYC does not happen without these two. But the investigation reveals that if the SIM card is in the name of a farmer in Odisha, then the bank account is in the name of a laborer. I myself have talked to a cyber criminal and he says that he earns one lakh to one and a half lakh a day. Now think how big the scam will be.
The members of the cyber fraud gang are not specially educated, but their skills in software are embarrassing even to an engineer. In addition to software, they also have knowledge of AI and IoT.
One such Jamtada gang had set up their own modules in states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan. Clear and clean Hindi-English speakers are assigned this task. It runs a separate course for the regional language.
They are taught the art of obtaining an ATM card PIN number and making online transfers through net banking. They work on new techniques. E-swim swapping has become their new weapon. It does not require inserting a separate SIM card in the mobile. These SIM cards are present in electronic form inside the mobile.
These fraudsters keep sophisticated and expensive mobiles to keep abreast of the changing technology. They have more than 30 money transfer apps in their mobiles. It uses parallel space software to run up to five numbers from a single mobile. Alwar, Mewat and Kolkata are currently hotspots for cyber fraud. Today, thousands of people are involved in cyber fraud. The biggest peace he has now is that he doesn't have to go anywhere. What used to be done with a computer is now done with a mobile.
