Bengaluru: ED raids 12 entities in job scam involving Chinese citizens, seizes Rs 5.85 cr

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Monday that it had searched 12 entities involved in a part-time job fraud case in Bengaluru and seized Rs 5.85 crore.

According to the ED, its investigation based on a case registered in the Bengaluru South CEN police station revealed that some Chinese citizens had cheated people through a mobile app, named Keepsharer, by collecting a registration fee from them after promising part-time jobs.

These Chinese citizens formed companies in India and recruited many Indians as directors, translators, human resource managers and tele-callers. They allegedly obtained the Indian victims’ documents and opened bank accounts by using them.
