Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav announced here on Friday that the Cyber Crime Division of the Punjab Police has raided two fictitious call centres operating in Mohali and detained 155 of their employees for deceiving and making fraudulent calls to individuals residing in the United States. The first fake Call centre was located at Plot at Sector 74 in SAS Nagar, while, the other fake Call Centre was established at A-one Tower at Sector 74 of SAS Nagar. Both the call centres seemed to be run by Gujarat-based kingpins.
Per an ANI report, preliminary investigations, according to DGP Gaurav Yadav, showed that the phoney call centres were open at night, and callers were tricking foreign nationals into buying gift cards from places like Target, Apple, Amazon, and so on using three different strategies. According to him, the owner redeems these gift cards once a team manager shares them.
