The investigation team analyzed the mobile numbers and bank accounts of the cyber fraudsters registered in the complaints received on the online portal 1930 and also contacted the youth who complained. The victims told that the cyber fraudsters first contact them through LinkedIn account. Then they interview them in the name of giving them a job in their company and force them to buy a Pentab from their company Neutrino Dot and block them after extorting 5 to 6 thousand rupees from them.

The accused used to tell them that they would be provided questions on various subjects like Physics, Biology and other subjects, for which they would have to make a video of the correct answers and upload it on the website, for which they would be paid.

To solve the question paper, they would have to buy a pentagram from my fake website neutrino.in and after solving those questions, they would have to make a video of it and send it.
