Gurugram, Aug 30: A 32-year-old BCom graduate, accused in over 100 cyber fraud cases, has been arrested by the Gurugram police. A local court on Thursday sent him to three-day police remand.

The accused, identified as Vikas Jha, is a resident of Delhi's Tilak Nagar. He was apprehended on Wednesday morning. During interrogation, Jha reportedly confessed to his crime.

Revealing the modus operandi of the fraud, Jha told the police that he used to send bulk messages of "reward points" on debit cards. The receiver of the message was asked to click on a link attached below the text. The webpage which followed asked them submit their debit card number, details and email ID.

He would subsequently hack into their emails and transfer the OTP for debit cards, the police claimed, adding that after accessing control over the debit card, Jha used to transfer the amount to various bank accounts linked to him.

Officials privy to the case claimed that they have registered more than 100 such cases. In May this year, he had been arrested for a Rs 50,000 fraud case, but managed to get bail.

A cyber fraud victim, the police added, received a message from ‘VM-NEWREG’. The link attached with the message took her to an online form which sought her bank account details and email ID to transfer reward points.
