Delhi: These fake government websites took many to the cleaners

The cyber cell of Delhi Police has busted a racket running fake websites impersonating genuine government sites and luring youths on pretext of registration on “Government e-marketplace (GeM)”.

Unsuspecting people landed on these sites after searching GeM registration on Google. These sites were charging Rs 2,999 each as registration fee, whereas this facility was free on the government website, said DCP Anyesh Roy. The cops have detected two such sites so far and arrested four people.
