Hyderabad: Two persons, who allegedly cheated a city-based man after promising to extend the validity date of his credit card, were arrested by the Hyderabad Cybercrime police on Monday.
The arrested persons were identified as Vineet Singh (28) and Deepak Singh (32), both natives of Delhi. According to the police, the duo called up people over phone and posing as bank officials, told them their credit cards were about to expire.
“On the pretext of extending the validity, they collected One Time Passwords from the card holders and duped them after withdrawing or transferring money from their accounts,” said KVM Prasad, ACP (Cybercrime), Hyderabad.
Following a complaint from the victim, who lost Rs 50,000 to the gang, the Cybercrime wing registered a case and traced the fraudsters to Delhi. A special team then reached Delhi and took them into custody.
