Delhi: Three arrested for cheating people online through fake website

Three cyber cheats, who allegedly cheated hundreds in the name of redeeming credit card points, were arrested after a chase across four states, said officials on Sunday.

The Delhi Police arrested three men –– Vikas Jha (31), Vicky (27) and Avinash Kumar (36) who created a fake website and sent bulk messages with links to the website. When the victims accessed the website and put in their bank details to redeem credit card points or gift cards, money was deducted from their accounts.

Police said the accused were staying at five-star hotels and were travelling to other cities to withdraw the cheated amount and escape police.
