Those arrested are- Md. Rana Khan, Md. Liton, Maryland Nayan Sheikh, Md. Titu Mollah, Md. Salman Mollah, Akash Sheikh, Maryland. Moazzem Hossain, Maryland. Rahim and Md. Tanjil. 10 mobile phones, 36 SIM cards and a provocateur were recovered along with two iPhones used in the scam.
DMP Additional Commissioner AKM Hafeez Akhter said that scammers have formed a large circle in Dhaka and Faridpur for this purpose.
He told a news conference at the DMP Media Center on Wednesday afternoon that one of the members of the network was tactfully taking pictures of the cash register account numbers of various developing stores. He would then send it to the ‘hackers’ in Dumain village of Madhukhali Police Station in Faridpur via WhatsApp. He received 300 rupees for each page.
They would look at the number in the photo and tell the customer, the development agent, to call the customer from the SIM of different operators, saying that they had forgotten some money from their store. Tactically later he learned of his total balance and said that as a result of his complaint the victim’s account was temporarily closed and they will call him from the development office. He then discovered the victim’s name using ‘True Caller’.
After a while, the ‘hacker’ used a special application to call the victim from the same number as the original bKash center number on behalf of the bKash office. Then came the call from +018247. The person would send an OTP to the victim’s number and ask the OTP victim to reactivate the account. Earn credibility like your name and total balance. At this point, he obtained the victim’s PIN number.
Then the hacker took control of your bKash account. The money in the victim’s account was sent to various agent points and the hackers withdrew the money through the nominee. For this they were paid 100 rupees per thousand.
Additional Commissioner Hafiz Akhter said that on September 15 a case was registered at the Bhatara Police Station in connection with development fraud.
