Noida Police Busts Major Fake Call Centre Scam

Noida police have arrested six more individuals linked to a fake call centre scam, bringing the total to 79 arrests. The call centre, operating from Bhutani Anthum building, duped American citizens through social security scams. Rs 45 lakh cash was seized during the operation.

Noida police have ramped up their efforts against fraudulent activities, arresting six more people in connection with a fake call centre, culminating in a total of 79 apprehensions. The call centre, situated in Bhutani Anthum building, Sector 90, was dismantled on Saturday for allegedly duping American citizens.

Sunday's breakthroughs came from the Sector-142 police station team, resulting in the seizure of Rs 45 lakh in cash, according to a police spokesperson. The operation was launched following an FIR registered on June 29 under multiple sections of the IPC and the IT Act, aimed at tackling crimes like cheating and forgery.

The modus operandi involved tele-calling through IVR systems, exploiting social security numbers of American citizens and extracting money through gift cards or cryptocurrency. Floor operators impersonated U.S. Marshals, coercing victims into paying to avoid fictitious legal troubles. Primary accused include Bhupendra Singh Pundeer alias Bunty, Saurabh Singh, Shubham Upadhyay, and others.
