Bhubaneswar, Jan 10 (Reporter) The Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of Odisha Crime Branch on Wednesday arrested three scammers from Bhubaneswar working for a Pan India fake Job
racket.
EOW sources said all the three arrested scammers were the important members of a racket which is being run from Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad.
The fake job racket was operating in Odisha, Jammu & Kashmir, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
Out of three arrested persons, two are from Hyderabad and one is from Odisha.They have been identified as Mohammad Sanaullah and Sakshi Jain (Hyderabad) and Surat Dalai of Balasore in Odisha
These accused were camping in Odisha since last few months and had been living in an AIRBNB rented accommodation.
During the search many incriminating documents like one laptop, eight mobile phones, three pen drives, 12 ATM cards and a cash of Rs.1 Lakh have been recovered and seized.
EOW sources said the s case is based on the suo-motu enquiry conducted by the agency in connection with the advertisement published in the local daily on December 18 and December 22 last by Aided Schools Welfare Society (Educational Organization Supported by Govt).
During investigation, it was revealed that the advertisements had been published by one newly created fraud organization “Aided Schools welfare Society” in which it is mentioned that applications are invited from eligible candidates for Non-teaching posts in Aided Schools in Odisha for different posts
The salary offered was from Rs.28,000 to Rs.40,000 per month. The organization also runs a website i.e. www.modelschools.ac .
The website and advertisement were so carefully designed that it resembled the government website for misleading, duping the unemployed youth to believe that it is a bona fide government website/ Job.
To mislead and cheat the gullible job aspirants it had used the Govt job features/ requirements like Reservation age relaxation in their website and advertisements..
The accused were planning to put a heavy Interview fee, security fee, verification fee in the coming days before closing the website/ vanishing.
The scammers have used various mule bank accounts to collect the fees so that they can fool/ puzzle the police/ law enforcement agencies.
The members of this gang are using fake SIMS and also using many YouTube Channels to promote their scheme/ Job advertisements especially targeting the strong aspiration of Youths to get a Government Job.
EOW sources said so far, transactions of more than Rs.1.7 Crore were noticed in these bank accounts and most of the money is withdrawn in cash through ATM to leave no financial trail.
While enquiring about the Odisha aspect of this scam, the EOW will now alert the police and law enforcement agencies of other concerned States...////...
