A 21-year-old from Gujarat's Ahmedabad cheated around 25,000 people from 40 countries and earned ₹5 crore in 100 days.
He used other people’s credit and debit cards to shop for goods worth Rs. 5 crore which he later sold for cash. He used the cards to enjoy a lavish lifestyle and occasionally stayed in five-star hotels.
The Ahmedabad crime branch cyber cell caught the crook who is just class 12 pass out and has targeted more than 25,000 foreign nationals nearly from 40 countries like UK, Japan, US and France to shop for goods, which he resold.
