Additional Public Prosecutor of Tis Hazari Court, KP Singh wanted to get the wife admitted to Sanjay Nagar, Ghaziabad, Yashoda Hospital due to ill health. He searched the number of the hospital on Google. When he called the number found on Google, the caller, posing as an employee of the hospital, asked him to download the remote access mobile application.
Apart from this, asked to pay Rs. As soon as he downloaded the application, Rs 99909 was deducted from his account. Registering the case on April 11, 23, the team of SI Ranjit Chowdhary, under the supervision of Pawan Tomar, cyber station in-charge of North District, arrested cyber fraudster Shahid Ansari a day before solving the case.
Not only prosecutor KP Singh, but lakhs of people in the country are falling prey to this kind of fraud. Fraudsters put their mobile numbers on Google. They create fake websites of government institutions, banks, hospitals, hotels and tourist places etc. and put their mobile numbers on them. They set it in such a way that whenever a person searches someone’s number on Google, their number comes at the top. After this the victim becomes a victim of fraud. But the fraudster’s mobile number will no longer be on Google.
In view of the increasing number of people falling victim to Google, the IFSO unit of the Special Cell of Delhi Police is developing such a software that it will immediately capture the mobile number of the fraudsters on Google. A senior police officer told that the software is ready. Trial is going on now. Fake URLs of banks etc. will be detected by this software. Security officials are calling it a big step by the Delhi Police.
Ministry of Home Affairs launched helpline number 155260
The Ministry of Home Affairs launched the helpline number 155260 on April 1, 2021 to keep an eye on cyber fraudsters. Its reporting platform was set up by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs. They keep an eye on cyber fraudsters. A Home Ministry official said that in the last one month, mobile numbers of about 1.5 lakh fraudsters have been blocked. This Home Ministry official said that at present only mobile numbers used in forgery are blocked. The mobile number given by other agencies including Delhi Police is blocked only. If a number is wrongly blocked, it is sent back to the security agencies to get it checked again.
Number will be removed automatically
The senior officer said that this software is being designed in such a way that the fraudster’s number will be immediately removed from Google and will identify that number and inform it to the police officers. It is being told that this system will be implemented if the trial is successful. This will curb the incidents of online fraud. The Delhi Police official refused to divulge anything about the software as it is on trial stage.
Forgery stopped in the name of police
Now forgery used to cheat by taking the name of police officers and pretending to be police officers. In view of this, the Delhi Police took a big step with the telecom companies. Now on calling from the official number of Delhi Police, Truecaller will get Hara Nagar. The red color of the same fraudster will come.
