Online fraudsters have become cruel, so police action has increased. Because of this, in many cases, the policy of freezing the entire account of an innocent person has been changed and now only the affected amount in the account will be frozen.
Bank accounts of local people are used by online fraud gangs by giving commission. Many times the person is not able to know when the fraudsters make online purchases and fake amount is transacted from his account.
Since many bank accounts have been frozen across the state, 28 thousand bank accounts of the state have been frozen after review by the CID, now instead of freezing the entire bank account in case of fraud, only the substantial part of it will be frozen and the fraud amount will be seized.
To prevent incidents of cyber fraud, Vadodara Cyber Cell ACP MM Rajput said that online fraudsters mostly commit fraud in the name of stock market and investment, in the name of paying tax, in the name of arrest by CID or Crime Branch, in the name of courier and by hacking WhatsApp. If people remain aware in such cases, then it can definitely be avoided.
Vadodara Cyber Cell gave a refund of Rs 1 crore in a month
On an average, 15 to 20 cases of online fraud are happening daily in Vadodara, in which money ranging from Rs 2-3 thousand to lakhs of rupees is transferred from people. In a month, a refund of Rs 1 crore has been given to the victims.
