Noida, March 13: The Bisrakh police in Greater Noida have made a significant breakthrough by dismantling a gang that defrauded individuals under the pretense of providing jobs in multinational companies (MNCs).
Three suspects have been arrested in connection with this scam. Authorities recovered a CPU, a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, six fake job offer letters, three mobile phones, and ₹7,600 in cash from the accused. The arrested individuals have been identified as Vikas Dabar, Arun Kumar, and Vaibhav Kumar.
The trio lured victims by promising lucrative job offers with salaries ranging from ₹30,000 to ₹60,000 per month. A formal complaint was lodged by a victim on March 12, leading to the registration of a case at the Bisrakh police station. Under the guidance of police officials, a team was formed to investigate the matter. On March 13, police received confidential information, which led to the arrest of the suspects near the Iteda roundabout on the service road.
Investigations revealed that the main accused, Vikas Dabar, hails from Hisar district in Haryana and previously worked in claims settlement for a foreign company, US Healthcare. His associates, Arun Kumar and Vaibhav Kumar, also have experience working in various private firms. The gang created profiles on myworkdayjobs.com to obtain data on job seekers.
They contacted young job seekers, enticing them with offers from reputed MNCs. Once a deal was struck, they demanded 15 to 20 percent of the annual package as a fee, often requesting token money ranging from ₹40,000 to ₹60,000 to be transferred to their accounts.
The accused fabricated fake email IDs that resembled those of large companies using mail hosting services and Google accounts. They then prepared counterfeit job offer letters featuring company logos and sent them to candidates via email. After receiving these letters, candidates were convinced and transferred the remaining amounts online. When victims inquired about the job status, the scammers would make excuses about technical issues or lack of documentation, often providing new dates or sending fake offer letters from other companies to mislead them.
During interrogation, the suspects revealed that they had defrauded numerous individuals out of millions of rupees using mobile phones to contact victims and digital payment apps to collect money. The police are currently investigating the suspects’ bank accounts and other transactions to uncover additional cases linked to this gang.
