Brothers Behind Fake Work-from-Home Scheme
In the first case, two brothers — Tauhid and Wahid of Tirwada village — were apprehended for allegedly running a fake work-from-home scheme in the name of the “Nataraj Pencil Company.” Investigators revealed that the duo used fake WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram accounts created under the names Rajiv Singh and Pooja Devi to lure victims with false promises of employment opportunities. The scam targeted individuals seeking remote jobs, tricking them into transferring money on the pretext of recruitment and work supplies.
