![]() ![]() Karnataka ADGP, Parashiva Murthy said that the police are creating awareness on online frauds and are also training the staff at the cyber cell to investigate the cases effectively. Our teams have visited these states to investigate, but we have not been successful,” he said. “Most of these fraudsters operate from remote villages in North Indian states, like Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. But majority of these cases go unreported because of social stigma, he added. Sources said that though the first seven months of this year, from January till July, have seen a dip in offline crime cases, cybercrimes have shot up and 6,082 cases have been reported across the state.Ī senior IPS officer, attached to the cybercrime cell, said that though most cybercrime cases are related to phishing, a significant number is also related to men being cheated by such escort websites. When the correspondent insisted that the initial deposit should be returned, the website handlers started threatening him, saying they would share his voice records with his friends on social media platforms. When he asked why this was not revealed earlier, a woman at the other end said that she would try to make an arrangement without a deposit. When he reached there, he got a call saying he needed to remit another Rs 30,000 as a security deposit to avail of the service the first time. There are several websites that go a step further and start blackmailing and extorting money from their customers, threatening to go public with the communication.Ĭhasing this story, a correspondent from The New Indian Express contacted a number, 99*****301, posing as a client and a woman responded, listing the requirements and assuring him of providing the escort service at a service apartment, but only after a minimum amount is transferred to their account for membership.Īfter the money was transferred, the correspondent was asked to go to a location. In most cases, that will be the last communication the customer will likely have with the escort club and he will have to forget his money. ![]()
