Caught: Tech dropout, who made app to commit credit card fraud
New Delhi: A 24-year-old BCA dropout and tech developer has been arrested for designing an app that mimicked a legitimate credit card service portal and was used for committing financial fraud. The accused, identified as Jay Kishan alias Rishab, is a BCA second-year dropout from Ghaziabad. H was arrested in his rented flat in Noida on June 6. The fraud came to light in March when a complainant approached police alleging that Rs 6,177 was siphoned off on the pretext of increasing his credit card limit. "The victim was lured into downloading a third-party app that mimicked a legitimate credit card services portal. Once installed, the app would prompt users to enter confidential details like credit card numbers, CVV, OTPs, and other credentials. These were directly routed to the fraudsters," DCP (outer) Sachin Sharma said. "The app interface was built to give the impression that it was genuine, so the victims did not suspect foul play. The moment the victim entered his credentials, the accused and his associates used the data to initiate unauthorised transactions," DCP Sharma added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Police have registered a case and, following the initial investigation, eight people, including five women, have been arrested, and a fake call centre that allegedly defrauded people of nearly Rs 6.5 crore over the past six to seven months has been busted.
