The Delhi Police has dismantled a cyber fraud module and arrested three men for duping a Shahdara resident of over Rs 1 lakh through a fake credit card limit enhancement scheme.
The accused have been identified as:
Surender Singh alias Shinde (27), resident of Bangla Sahib Road, Delhi
Gurmeet Singh alias Honey (35), from Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand
Daleep Kumar (42), from Faridabad, Haryana
According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Prashant Gautam, the victim, Sameer Bhardwaj of Krishna Nagar, received a call from a person posing as a bank employee who promised to increase his credit card limit. The caller sent a link to a website mimicking the bank’s official site, prompting Bhardwaj to enter his card details. Soon, he received a message showing a transaction of Rs 1,00,208 on his card, after which he lodged a complaint.
Investigators traced the fake website to Surender Singh, while technical analysis revealed that Gurmeet Singh procured credit card data from a co-accused named Pawan, and Daleep Kumar supplied fake SIM cards used to contact victims.
The three were arrested following coordinated raids across Delhi, Uttarakhand, and Haryana, with police recovering five mobile phones and six SIM cards used in the scam.
“The accused replicated the bank webpage and used fake SIMs to target victims, collecting credit card data via phishing links and making payments from dummy accounts,” added DCP Gautam.
