Four arrested for running fake call centre, duping businessman of Rs 11 lakh

Vasu Singh, who runs Silvereen Art and Craft shop in Northeast Delhi’s West Karawal Nagar, was looking to sell to overseas customers when he allegedly got a call from a representative of bhartiyaexporters.com, a portal claiming to market products to national and international buyers. Little did Singh know it was only the beginning of an elaborate call centre scam that would cost him Rs 11 lakh and lead to the arrest of four people from Ashok Nagar on Sunday.

The alleged centre was used to dupe small businessmen by luring them to list their products on the portal that has access to customers in national and international markets, said DCP (Northeast) Joy Tirkey.
