Fake-loan call centre busted in Park Street, seven arrested

A fraudulent call centre was busted in an office on Park Street.

Personnel there were allegedly making calls to cheat people by making them download loan apps. Seven people have been arrested.

Police said they had received information about the illegal call centre from which fraudulent calls were being made.“The fraudsters had used social media to advertise loans offering quick money on easy terms and conditions. However, once someone downloaded the apps, they would levy high rates of interest on the loans,” said an officer of Park Street Police Station.
