The phishing gang of Jamtara has now hired an entire village in Bihar and has outsourced their online cheating scam to them. The gang has hired everyone from Parvalpur Pada in Sonsa Rahui village located in Nalanda district of Bihar for the job. The villagers receive Rs 1,000-Rs 2,000 per successful online cheating transaction as commission. They only have to share spam links with people to gain access to their mobile phones. The Kalachowkie police managed to trace two accused from this village in Bihar who sent links to people and withdrew money for the Jamtara gang.

The arrested accused is Amit Kumar Dayanand Malakar, 24, a resident of Parvalpur Pada. Kalachowki police have also issued a notice to another accused, Ranidevi Rakesh Paswan, 27, who is also a resident of the same village and involved in multiple online crimes. According to police officials, around 5,000 people live in Sonsa Rahui village, and most of them are involved in this crime, as per the Kalachowki police. A police officer said, “The Jamtara gang, who are masters in online cheating, have started hiring villagers to provide them with basic training to send links to people and earn commissions for successful links.”
