The Chunabhatti police have successfully busted a gang of five individuals operating a bogus call center and defrauding people with fake Forex trading investment schemes. The arrested individuals have been identified as Sohail Rafiq Solanki, Yusuf Yunus Khan, Arbaaz Shahid Shaikh, Gausia Istekhat Shaikh, and Gauri Pramod Kamble.
According to the police, the gang lured victims by promising high returns on Forex trading and convinced them to invest through fraudulent calls using fake identities. Solanki, a resident of Shivmangal Apartment in Sector 20, Nerul, Navi Mumbai, is said to have been in contact with the main accused.
During the operation, the police seized assets worth lakhs, including six computers, six laptops, 27 mobile handsets, 23 SIM cards, and notebooks containing scripts used to deceive victims. The accused had convinced individuals to download specific apps, subscribe to services, and transfer funds by showcasing fake profits. However, when the victims attempted to withdraw their funds, they discovered they had been scammed.
After receiving multiple complaints regarding Forex trading fraud, a special police team launched an investigation. Intelligence gathered led them to the bogus call center located at Gala 409, Building 8, Jogani Industries, Chunabhatti. The Chunabhatti Police have appealed to other potential victims to come forward and file complaints as the investigation continues.
