Lucrative job offers on WA, FB lead youth to cyber crime
Lucknow: A day after Lucknow police busted a sophisticated multi-layered cyber fraud call centre operating from the Vrindavan Yojna area, which swindled crores of rupees from unsuspecting victims across India, as many as 15 individuals, mostly from Bihar and Jharkhand, were arrested. They were allegedly lured into the racket under the pretext of lucrative job offers, only to be made pawns in a widespread scam. The accused were recruited through attractive job advertisements posted on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, promising salaries ranging between Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 per month. "These were not random hires. The gang conducted a series of staged telephonic interviews and online aptitude tests to lend an air of authenticity to the process. The candidates were told they were selected for jobs in customer service, e-commerce support, and online gaming platforms," police said. ADCP, crime, Vasanth Kumar said that once recruited, the individuals were brought to Lucknow and housed in a rented apartment in Vrindavan Yojna which doubled as their residence and a full-fledged cyber fraud call centre. For most, it was their first time in a big city. As part of the onboarding process, they were subjected to systematic training for a week, where they were taught how to operate fake websites and mobile apps, methods to spoof caller identities, use of pre-written scripts to manipulate and convince victims, and techniques for digital payment fraud, including UPI and wallet redirections, said Kumar. "They were given training manuals, mock call practice sessions and target-based performance goals—similar to corporate setups," said a senior officer involved in the probe. However, once inside, the recruits were cut off from the outside world. "We were told not to step out of the apartment or talk to outsiders. Food, clothes and basic amenities were delivered to the flat. We were warned never to discuss our work—even with each other beyond a point," one of the arrested accused confessed during questioning. The police said the racket duped around 1,000 people across India by offering fake online services and betting schemes. Victims were made to believe they were speaking to customer service agents from reputed companies or betting platforms and money was extracted in the name of registration, fees, and refunds. mastermind Vishal Yadav was found to be a habitual cyber criminal, shifting his base frequently to avoid detection. Police believe he operated remotely using VPNs, encrypted messaging apps and burner email addresses to stay off the radar. His last known location was tracked to Sri Lanka. All 15 accused have been remanded to seven-day police custody, during which they will be interrogated individually to identify further links in the network, including recruiters, trainers, handlers and financial operatives. Their mobile phones, laptops and hard drives have been seized and are being sent for forensic analysis, said ADCP Kumar. "The evidence so far suggests a pan-India scam with international linkages. More arrests are expected in the coming days. We are also working with cybercrime cells in other states to identify similar patterns," Kumar added.

Kanye West makes surprise appearance at Diddy trial: A look at their complicated friendship
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West , made a brief but high-profile appearance at the Manhattan federal courthouse on Friday to show support for longtime friend Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently facing sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. Dressed in white, Ye arrived around noon while court was in recess. Though he didn't enter the main courtroom, he observed proceedings via closed-circuit television in an overflow room for roughly 40 minutes. When asked if he was there to support Combs, Ye simply nodded and replied, 'Yes,' before quickly leaving in a black Mercedes sedan without taking further questions. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges alleging he exploited his fame and power over a 20-year span to commit serious crimes. Ye's appearance came just a day after a woman identified as 'Jane' wrapped up six days of harrowing testimony, including claims that she was coerced into sex acts while in a relationship with Combs. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Are you ready to conquer a planet? Undo While prosecutors paint a picture of abuse and coercion, Combs' defense team argues the government is targeting private, consensual encounters. Kanye and Diddy: From Mutual Admiration to Public Feud Live Events Ye and Diddy's relationship was once built on deep mutual respect. Kanye credited Diddy for inspiring his music and even his marriage to Kim Kardashian, saying, 'So many of my life choices, my wife choices... he inspired.' Diddy, in turn, said Ye reignited his passion for hip-hop after attending one of Ye's concerts in 2009. Their friendship took a turn in 2022 when Kanye released controversial 'White Lives Matter' shirts. Diddy criticized the move as 'tone deaf,' sparking a heated exchange of texts which Kanye posted on Instagram. Although they briefly crossed paths again at Rolling Loud in March 2024, Ye reportedly declined to speak with Diddy. Tensions resurfaced in April when Kanye appeared to reference the charges against Diddy in a remix of 'Like That,' rapping: "I just f—ed your b in a Sean John tank top." Despite the fallout, Ye's courtroom appearance signals a complex and enduring — if strained — bond. Whether this marks reconciliation or just a gesture of loyalty remains to be seen as Diddy's high-stakes trial unfolds.
