Men Arrested for Bank Fraud: Duping Man of Over Rs 10 Lakh
Two men pretended to be bank employees to trick a person out of money.
They called the person and said there was a problem with their check, sending a bad link that secretly let them take the person's money.
Using this trick, the men stole over 10 lakh rupees.
The police found the men by tracking their phones and financial activity, arresting them in different states.
One of the criminals would find targets using Amazon Pay, and the other helped move the money around using apps like CRED and MobiKwik.
They got a percentage of the stolen money and hid in areas with poor internet to avoid getting caught.
