These defendants have
broken into the private accounts of citizens by sending e-mails saying: “Win
a sum of money immediately from …,” provided that you share the email with
ten of your friends. The email requests
the recipient to fill out certain information, including bank account details.
Under the scam, victims
receive a message from the defendants, informing them that they have won cash
but that they have to transfer a small amount of money before receiving the big
prize.
The
Anti-Cyber Crimes Unit was able to detect the fraudulent activity and pursue the perpetrators,
who include former bank employees. The
detained individuals were referred to the Criminal Magistrate Court following an
extensive investigation.
