    Majority of these fraudsters are never caught, so once the money is gone don't have any hopes!
    When big banks & credit socities commit fraud of 1000s of crores this is nothing!
    Recently a cooperative credit society having a chain of stores in and around Mangalore have duped investors to the extent of 350 crores & escaped!
    This is the trending profession in digital India?

    There was a fraud call centre which used to operate in Gurgaon and scam people by pretending to be Microsoft services. A hacker called jim browning from the UK hacked into their cctv and exposed them. It was full fledged network of businesses making millions a year. We need stronger cyber laws and cyber police in india.

    This is nothing but the truth. But who is responsible for this. Are the two who swindled with the money or the bank staff or others unknown people involved in this.
