Gurugram Police have arrested eight persons, including four women, for allegedly running a fake call centre and duping people on the pretext of providing overseas jobs.
The suspects created a fake job website -- internationaljobsolutions.com -- and collected data of the job aspirants from an online portal (shine.com) whom they duped over the past six months, the police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Nagender Kumar, Vikrant Singh, Ravi Kumar, Kajal, Garima, Ranjan Kumar, Sahil Punia, and Agnes Franesh.
The police received a tip-off on Thursday about an illegal call centre operating from the Palam Vihar area in Gurugram. A raid was conducted which led to the arrest of the eight accused persons, said Varun Dahiya, ACP (Crime).
The accused tele-callers lured unemployed youth promising overseas jobs and even sent them forged appointment letters on WhatsApp against a sum of Rs 2-3 lakh.
The tele-callers were given a salary of Rs 18,000 per month, the ACP said.
Ten mobile phones, four laptops, and other incriminating items were seized during the raid, the officer added.
