Bhubaneswar: The Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Odisha, on Wednesday arrested three scammers, including a woman, who were allegedly part of a pan-India fake job racket operating in six states.
The accused have been identified as Mohammad Sanaullah of Hyderabad, Sakshi Jain of Hyderabad and Surat Dalai of Balasore, Odisha.
This racket was being run from Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad but was operating in at least 06 States such as Odisha, Jammu & Kashmir, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
During the probe, it was found that the organization runs a website i.e. (www.modelschools.ac), which has been designed carefully to resemble the government website for misleading, duping the unemployed youth to believe that is a bona fide government website.
The scammers have used various bank accounts to collect the fees so that they can puzzle the police/ law enforcement agencies. The members of this racket are using fake SIM cards and also using many YouTube channels to promote their job advertisements, the source informed.
So far, transactions of more than Rs 1.7 crore were noticed in these bank accounts. Most of the money is withdrawn in cash through ATM.
The EOW will now alert the police and the law enforcement agencies of other concerned states.
