“Many times they come in the name of renting a house or doing big business and inviting people to invest there. Selected individuals are invited to your rented office first. At one point, he seduced the victims through various tricks. Some of the scammers are foreign bigwigs with Indian or Bihari national identities. In this case, Ranchi International and other large organizations are named. They often say that the Japan-Bangladesh joint venture will do great business. “
Mashiur said that many people have lost everything by falling into such temptations.
“As soon as the scammers took the money, their cell phones were turned off and they left the office and disappeared,” he said.
Mashiur said they had seen several such incidents, adding that they had already identified more than eight offices and been able to conduct raids and arrest members of multiple groups. Attempts are being made to arrest his other accomplices.
Mashiur Rahman said that this gang has been targeting wealthy businessmen and retired government officials in different parts of the country, including the metropolis of Dhaka, for 20 to 25 years and has scammed large sums of money. There are several cases in his name in different police stations in the country, including the capital Dhaka.
