A fake Facebook account of Dabhoi BJP MLA Shailesh Mehta has been created by cyber frauds. Mehta alerted his followers on Facebook about the fake account and registered a complaint with the police seeking action.
A total of 13 cybercriminals were arrested from areas located under Gandey and Ahilyapur police station limits. They hacked bank accounts of their targets, particularly those receiving old age pensions.
The regulator has already issued a public advisory alerting citizens not to heed fraudulent calls threatening disconnections from companies, agencies and individuals masquerading as Trai. It had also warned that fake companies, agencies, and individuals were trying to trick the public into making Skype video calls to avoid disconnections.
