China-linked cyber fraud syndicate busted in Delhi · thehansindia.com

Some people in China tricked a man in India into doing fake jobs from home.

They promised he would earn a lot of money.

First, they asked him to pay some security money.

When he tried to take his earnings out, they asked for more money.

In the end, he lost 12 lakh rupees.

These tricksters used bank accounts owned by other people to hide their money.

Those accounts are called mule accounts.

The police in Delhi found out about this trick and arrested four people.

The police caught the suspects in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

The police also found that some of the stolen money was turned into a digital coin called USDT.
