Rajkot & Junagadh Cyber Crime Police Block Rs 7 Lakh Siphoned Off in 4 Fraud Cases

Cyber crime police in Rajkot and Junagadh have successfully blocked Rs 7 lakh that was siphoned off by cyber criminals in four separate fraud cases. In the first instance, Jigna Bhatt was duped by crooks who asked her to update her banking mobile application via a link, resulting in a loss of Rs 84,000. Similarly, Yash Togadiya, another resident of Rajkot, lost Rs 4 lakh to cyber criminals when attempting to book tickets for a world tour package.

Out of the total amount lost in the fraud cases, police were able to recover Rs 3 lakh. Harsh Desai was also cheated with the promise of cheap raw materials on India Mart, resulting in a loss of Rs 1.2 lakh to cyber criminals, but the police managed to return Rs 1 lakh to him. Despite successfully blocking the transfer of funds to the accounts of cyber criminals by notifying payment gateways, no accused parties have been traced by the police.

According to K J Makwana, a police inspector at the cyber crime police station in Rajkot, cyber criminals are skilled at leaving no traces behind, which makes it difficult for them to be tracked down. In the fourth case, a man from Junagadh received a message about an online shopping purchase worth Rs 2 lakh using his credit card, even though he didn't recall sharing his credit card details. He immediately contacted the police, who were able to stop the transaction at the payment gateway and reverse the amount back to his account.

These incidents highlight the importance of individuals being cautious about sharing sensitive information online. The police have advised citizens to remain vigilant while conducting transactions online and to avoid falling prey to false promises made by cyber criminals. They have also urged the public to report any such incidents promptly to the cyber crime police.
