Hyderabad: Two persons who duped traders using a spoof Paytm app were arrested by the Vanasthalipuram police on Monday.

According to the police, Mohammed Shoeb (20) and Battala Shiva (24), both residents of Ibrahimpatnam, went to different stores and purchased items. Later, they pretended in front of the shopowners that the money was transferred through the Paytm app and left the place, Vanasthalipuram Inspector G Jagannath said.

Two days ago, they went to a store at Vanasthalipuram and purchased mobile phone accessories and duped the shop owner of Rs 2,800. “They used the spoof app to show a ‘transaction successful’ message and before the shopkeeper realized he was conned, they left the place,” the Inspector said. They were produced before the court and remanded.
