Time and again, cyber criminals have been digging up new holes to trap their victims and loot them. In one of their brand new ideas to fill pockets, these law offenders have staged house rental platforms to victimise house owners and landlords. The Visakhapatnam Cyber Crime Police issued a statement alerting the citizens from compromising their cyber security to such fraudulent activities, considering the rising number of such incidents. As per the police report, 40 cyber crime cases of a similar pattern have been recorded in recent times.
According to the city cyber cops, the fraudsters are posing themselves as Indian Amry officials to gain the goodwill of the victims. As a part of their modus operandi, the criminals primarily approach residences with to-let boards. They then manipulate the landlords into thinking they are genuine army officers searching for a house on rent. Upon gaining the victims’ trust, the fraudsters ask them to transfer a certain amount, stating it as an army procedure, and block them.
