2 held from Surat for stealing data of e-comm firm for fake website

The Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Cell on Monday arrested two persons from Surat for allegedly stealing data of an e-commerce company for the website of their fake e-commerce company and later duping customers.

According to police, Kalpesh Vaghasia (28) and Sanket Sorathiya (24) — both residents of Kamrej in Surat, were held by a team of the Ahmedabad Cyber Crime Cell, after an e-commerce giant approached police stating that two dubious websites had stolen their data.

The accused had created two dubious websites — http://www.bagonia.in and http://www.bageto.in — where they had copied the data of online products from e-commerce companies and offered the same products at lower prices. However, customers did not receive the products after payment was done, police said.
