The Cyber cell of Delhi police has arrested a gang of fraudsters disguising as army personnel who sent malicious UPI links to people and duped them of their hard earned money.

The complainant informed the police that his wife ran a business of online sales of ladies suits. In September this year, she received a call from an accused person who introduced himself as an army person and confirmed his order. Thereafter, he requested the complainant that he will pay only through the UPI mode as he is an army man. Later on, the accused sent a malicious UPI link to the complainant to fill certain bank details and cheated him of Rs 2,45,990.
