​​​Detailed Report on Cyber Crime at Delhi.

This is a recent story on Cyber Crime in Delhi where a person theft Rs. 74,940/- from two Delhi based people.
Amit Agarwal used to search data processing job work on internet sites and one day he receives a call from a service provider Ajay Kumar from Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh.

Ajay: Hi Amit, This is Ajay this side, I have seen your posts on different online forums seeking data processing job work. Myself is a consultant (M/s Ajay Technoservices located at 153, Vivek Nagar, Sultanpur – 228001) and engaged in providing data processing job work on monthly commission basis. I have a job work of 10 computers slot with monthly billing of Rs. 13,20,000/-. This is simple typing job and you will receive 40,000 forms/records in notepad format and you need to paste these records in relevant fields of software being provided by client. Per record will pay you Rs. 33/-. For this offline work you will have to pay me a refundable amount of Rs. 36000/- towards software charges which will be refunded with your first month billing. (Such charges are normally used to take from the vendors as a security money or guarantee to recognize that vendor is genuine and will complete the given work). Further he told that when you deposit Rs. 36000/- we will install software in your computers and send you work. When work will start you will have to pay 2.95% (Rs. 38940/- of 13,20,000) of total monthly billing amount against LC charges if you wish client to open a LC to secure your payment.

Amit told him that he is coming to his place to finalize the deal.
Ajay agreed and they fixed the meeting for 29/08/2014.
On 29/08/2014 Amit reached Lucknow and called Ajay for meeting and Ajay replied that he is also in Lucknow for one of his relatives function and can meet him there itself. Amit agreed and they met. Amit spoken to him and after getting satisfactory answers from him he asked his friend Kamal to transfer Rs. 36,000/- from Delhi. Kamal transferred Rs. 36,000/- to Ajay Kumar account no 914010014971852 in AXIS Bank, Ground floor, Building No. 14&15, Babaganj, Tehsil and Pargana Sadar, Partapgarh City, Uttar Pradesh, Pin 230001.

After receiving Rs. 36,000/- Ajay started convincing Amit/Kamal to open a LC before starting work. He told them why don’t you pay client LC charges to open a LC which help you to withdraw 40% of total LC amount to setup you workstation/computers to start the job.

They told him that first we will start the job then think of LC opening. Why you are more than worried for our payment more than us. He kept quiet for few days and again called them and told that before starting work client wish to open LC. Amit/Kamal thought that if client is forcing us to open LC there may not any problem. They were trying to pay Rs. 50,000/- for advance rent of setup they chosen for work in Noida. They thought that why don’t they check authenticity of client by paying Rs. 38,940/- for LC instead of paying Rs. 50,000/- to setup owner in Noida. This decision saved their Rs. 50,000/- because later on after paying Rs. 38,940/- on 03/09/2014 to Ajay he again called them that client is asking to open 3 months LC instead of one month and asking for Rs. 77,880/- more.

Amit/Kamal understood that they have been cheated by this rascal and he is not going to give any work to them. They refused him to pay further and asked him to refund their money if he does not open LC and start the work. He told them to believe him and if they cannot pay he will pay on their behalf and arranging money. He had been in touch with Amit/Kamal for few more days and all of a sudden switched of his phone on 17/09/2014. Amit/Kamal tried calling him on a daily basis for 20 times but he never switched on his phone.

Finally Amit/Kamal decided to visit the place which is mentioned in his AXIS bank account as address proof on 21/09/2014 but he/his family did not meet there even the address was fake and cannot be traced there. Now Amit/Kamal were convinced that he cheated them and now escaped hence ​​Kamal rushed to his police station Thana Kalyanpuri on 24/09/2014 and filed a Tehrir (an application) briefly mentioned everything.

Now they both are trying to catch and stop Ajay Kumar to do the same with other innocent people who are in need of business to survive and can pay like them.
They succeed to extract his address mentioned in his AXIS bank account and visited the place but did not find any address like “Ajay Kumar S/o Sh. Guman Singh, R/o H. No. 157A, Dahila Mau, AN-PS: Kotwali Nagar, The: Sadar, Shiv Mandir ke pass, Partapgarh, U.P.”
