New Delhi: The Delhi Police busted two fake call centres in Kirti Nagar and Mangolpuri area and arrested 94 people for duping US citizens on the pretext of renewing their social security scheme. According to the police, they conducted a raid at a call centre in the Kirti Nagar area acting on a tip-off that it was involved in large-scale cyber cheating of US citizens on the pretext of revocation of Social Security Number (SSN) under the garb of travel agency, namely The Global Airfares.
"During the raid at Kirti Nagar 20-25 persons impersonating as the Social Security Administration Department from the US were engaged in communicating with the victims," the police said. "The accused were using illegal techniques, VOIP calls, bypassing the legal International Long Distance (ILD) Gateways to cheat innocent peoples based abroad (USA) on the pretext of saving people from suspending Social Security Number (SSN). After seeing the raiding team, they disconnected the calls and tried to run away, but could not succeed," it further said.
