Jet Airways founder: Jet founder Naresh Goyal used by cybercriminals to defraud city-based company’s CEO | Hyderabad News

Hyderabad: Under Siege Founder of Jet Airways, Naresh Goyalbecame the new bait, cybercriminals are used to rob society. In one such case, Internet scammers resorted to ‘Goyal links’ to fleece the CEO of a Hyderabad-based technology firm of Rs 8 lakh.
The criminals alleged that the senior executive’s Aadhar ID number was linked to money laundering transactions in connection with the Goyal bank fraud case. They forced her to transfer money to a “secret security account” to verify the funds in her account. The 46-year-old later realised she had been duped and approached the Cyber ​​Crime Police in Cyberabad for action.

The victim’s company is engaged in the creation of websites, mobile applications, and UX UI design technologies.
Police said that around 10 days ago, the CEO first received a robocall from an unknown number warning her that her mobile phones would be immediately switched off due to alleged involvement in “illegal advertising and harassment” calls. She was then directed to call the customer care center, where she spoke to a representative posing as a representative of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI). The representative informed her that her mobile number was linked to illegal activities and advised her to file a complaint with the Mumbai police.
The complainant was then connected to another person on Skype who introduced himself as an IPS officer from Mumbai Cyber ​​Crime Wing Division. He asked for a picture of her Aadhar card and informed her that her identity card was linked to a money laundering case. He also claimed that a bank account in her name was involved in the case and showed her a picture of Naresh Goyal, suggesting a possible link. The fraudsters then demanded that she transfer her funds to a secret account for verification. It was only after she made multiple transactions in different denominations to different bank accounts — as instructed by the fraudsters — that the senior executive realised that she had been duped.
Cybercrime investigators say it is one of many methods scammers use to intimidate and rob people.
“People should exercise caution and never share any personal information with callers,” the official said.
