Caution: Fake website launches offer (2 robbers from Sambalpur in 15 days)

Sambalpur : E-commerce sites have been launched in view of Parwan and Diwali. From the Great Indian Festival on Amazon to the Big Billion Billion on Flipkart, the best deals are on sale. People are also looking to buy things at this time. According to the data, 60% of people shop online in the first week of October this year (October 1-10). Cyber ​​looters are also waiting for such an opportunity. Fake e-commerce websites create websites to spread looting by showing greed for large discounts on various items. Last Friday, a young woman from the area under Dhanupali police station also fell victim to the offer and lost millions of rupees. Not only that, last week another youth from the area under Dhanupali police station also fell victim to cyber looters and lost Rs 52,000 while buying mobile phones at low prices. Dhanupali based citizen returned back Rs 50,000 to his account on Monday due to the hasty action of the police.

Cybercriminals first create fake websites. Flockcard, Amazon, Mitra and other names are slightly modified and looted. Just like Amazon, robbers create websites called Amazon instead of Amazon and display everything like Amazon. Which is why customers are often cheated. Looters are targeting people by designing such fake websites out of state. Deki looters, who have been more active in online shopping since Kovid, took advantage of it. Mumbai police arrested a cyber robber last January. He alone launched 12 fake e-commerce websites and swindled Rs 4 million from 22,000 people. The robbers stabbed people in the name of dresses, braids and household items. Delhi Police arrested five people last August on charges of opening a fake e-commerce website and defrauding 10,000 people of Rs 25 crore. In the last month, two people from Sambalpur have lost millions of rupees in greed to buy mobile phones. Dashahara is followed by Lakshmi Puja followed by Diwali.
