Old 'Angadia' System Exploited in Latest Scam? 🚨 The Full Story of a 700,000 Rupee Fraud

Hello everyone! Today, I've brought you some truly interesting, yet somber news. It's a story about the combination of a cutting-edge scam method and a very old banking system. I found myself deeply intrigued by this news. 🤔

What is 'Angadia'?

At the heart of this incident lies an ancient banking system called 'Angadia'. This system is an informal cash transportation network that has been used in India for centuries. It operates by directly delivering cash, much like modern-day courier services. Its speed, relative affordability, and most importantly, its 'untouchable' nature have attracted the attention of criminals.

How Did 700,000 Rupees Disappear?

This case began on October 26th in New Delhi. It all started when Devjani Das Choudhury, who works as a nurse at a government hospital in Delhi, received a phone call. 📞

The scammer introduced himself as a police officer and claimed that Ms. Devjani's name was implicated in a money laundering case related to Naresh Goyal, the founder of Jet Airways. He then instructed her to transfer money to a specific account for 'verification'. 😱

Unaware of such scam tactics, Ms. Devjani followed the instructions and transferred a large sum of cash. However, this was a clear fraud, and she ultimately lost a significant amount of 700,000 rupees (equivalent to over 10 million Korean Won).

The Criminals' Audacious Operation

This incident was not just a one-off event affecting an individual. According to reports, these criminals had formed a large criminal network over several weeks and used the 'Angadia' system to compartmentalize the stolen money, then transferred it online without leaving a trace. 🕵️‍♀️

They broke down the money like puzzle pieces and moved the funds through complex routes, making it difficult for the police to track them. It's disheartening to realize that criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Police Pursuit and the Mystery

Currently, the police have arrested three suspects across several states in connection with this case. However, the individual believed to be the 'carrier' has not yet been apprehended. This carrier likely played a role in physically transporting cash through the Angadia system. If this person is caught, the full story of the incident is expected to become much clearer.

What Should We Be Wary Of?

This incident serves as an important wake-up call for all of us. 🚨

• Personal Information Protection: It makes us rethink how personal information like names and account details leak, and how common scams exploiting this are.
• Suspicious Calls: Calls impersonating public officials or demanding large sums of money unexpectedly should always be treated with suspicion. 🙅‍♀️
• Unfamiliar Systems: Scams using untraceable systems like 'Angadia' are difficult to investigate, so we must be aware that such crimes may become more prevalent.
