Bengaluru Cyber Scam: No Cap, This is Wild! 🤯
Bruh, Bengaluru PD just pulled up on a whole BPO and shut down their shady operation faster than you can say "phishing." Apparently, these cats were pretending to be US enforcement agents and hitting up Americans and Canadians with bogus drug and money laundering charges. The tea? They were tryna finesse them out of their dough by saying they could "settle" things for the right price. That's mega sus!
These scammers were getting trained in online cyber fraud and recruited through online job platforms like WorkIndia and LinkedIn. They were promised free places to crash and a chance to make that paper in Bengaluru. They used fake IDs and websites to trick their victims, and online calling tools to hit them up. When they got money, they'd get a lil bit for themselves - sus for real!
The cops raided the place and seized all their electronics – computers, phones, the whole shebang. They arrested 16 people from all over India, including Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and Gujarat. Apparently, they'd been running this scheme for over a year and had scammed Americans out of bank, but they still need ppl to come forward and report. The feds think the head honcho of the whole operation is chilling somewhere outside the country. Stay woke, this is a whole different level of catfishing!
Italy Goes 💥: Eviction Turns Tragic! 💔
But wait, there's more! In Italy, things took a dark turn during an eviction near Verona. Three Carabinieri officers were straight-up killed, and 13 others got hurt when a farmhouse went BOOM! 💣
Turns out, a brother and sister in their 60s were living in this abandoned farmhouse for about a year. When the authorities showed up to evict them, they triggered a gas explosion. The cops are saying it was 100% intentional, which is messed up beyond belief. One sibling dipped, but the other two are in custody. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni and Defence Minister Guido Crosetto sent their condolences for this L.
This whole situation is giving major bad vibes. One thing's for sure, though - the world is still wildin' out there. Stay safe, besties, and keep your eyes peeled!
