15 Bangladeshi Nationals Arrested in Kathmandu for Operating Scam Center

Kathmandu. Fifteen Bangladeshi citizens preparing to run a 'scamming center' similar to those in Cambodia were arrested on Jestha 15. Police dispatched from the Valley Crime Investigation Office arrested the Bangladeshis and handed them over to the Immigration Department after preliminary investigation.

They used to send links with photos of Bangladeshi and Indian models to customers through electronic means. After clicking on the link, they used to try to access people's bank accounts. To gain access to accounts, the accused used to ask for OTP codes by 'phishing', said SSP Santosh Khadka of the Valley Crime Investigation Office. It was revealed from the investigation that they would then access the accounts, steal money, and become unreachable.
