Hyderabad: Cyber crooks lure people with online investment app called ‘Eshop Job’

Hyderabad: Cyber fraudsters are cheating people by luring them with fake online investment application ‘Eshop Job’ by promising high returns for their investments. Though these apps initially show high returns for online investments, they can never be withdrawn, police officials warned.

A senior official from the Cyberabad Cybercrime wing warned people against the fake investment app and asked them not to believe in messages or calls that ask them to share their bank details or invest in apps online. Fraudsters send bulk phishing messages about quick money and part-time jobs, with everyday income, to random people.

“Do not reveal your account details to anyone and do not download any application without knowing its purpose and authenticity,” the official said adding that people should not transfer money to accounts of unknown persons.

Your account details could be accessed by the fraudsters through applications which you download without your knowledge and thereby you may be cheated. “It is always advisable to never invest money in such kinds of applications. Do not respond to any links or messages regarding investments with high returns and part-time job offers,” the official added.
