With the assistance of the vertical National Cybercrime Threat Analytics Unit (NCTAU), the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Center (I4C) was able to identify 100 websites last week that were linked to fraudulent part-time employment and illicit investment. The Information Technology Act of 2000 (IT Act, 2000) has been used by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to prohibit several websites.

In this manner, funds were taken out.

It was discovered that these websites were engaged in illicit investing. An investigation also showed that they were run from overseas. Rental accounts, chat messengers, and internet advertisements were all used in the crime. To withdraw money, a card, cryptocurrency, or ATM was used.

These folks hit the mark.

Women and young people without jobs were fraudsters' primary targets. These victims were tricked by the con artists using well-placed digital ads on well-known websites like Google and Meta. These ads often used alluring terms like "easy earning" and "home-based job." Following their click on these advertisements, scammers contacted victims using well-known messaging services like Telegram and WhatsApp.
