Delhi Cyber Police Bust Fake Export Consultancy Call Centre, Arrest 18PreviousNext

The Cyber Police Station of New Delhi District has dismantled a fake export consultancy call centre, arresting 18 individuals, including the alleged mastermind Pradeep Kumar. The syndicate deceived exporters nationwide by promising overseas buyers and export certifications, charging fees up to Rs 66,080. Using international WhatsApp numbers and impersonating foreign buyers, they showed fabricated communications before ceasing contact post-payment. The operation followed investigations of cyber fraud complaints via the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal and involved technical and digital evidence analysis.
