Akhtar, who has done MBA, was looking for a job in a private bank. Meanwhile, on social media Facebook, he met a handsome young man named Nahiduzzaman Rana. Rana introduced himself as a senior officer of a private bank. He also gave visiting cards to gain Swarupa's loyalty. At one stage love, romance with nature. The dream of building a house. Rana encouraged Swarupa, a mother of one, to leave her husband and family. In simple faith, Swarupa divorced her husband. After that, Rana snatched 6 lakh 43 thousand rupees from him in the name of his job as an officer in the bank. When neither job nor marriage was happening, no one at Rana Bank could find out by looking for Swarupa. From then on, Rana stopped communicating with Swarupar. After a case was filed in the court, the police bureau of investigation (PBI) found out the truth. Such incidents are happening all the time. Online fraud is taking horrible forms day by day. Falling into the trap of greed of deceivers, some are losing family, some are losing everything in life. RAB has arrested 355 fraudsters in the first four months of this year. And last year 639 people were arrested. Most of them are online fraudsters. Besides, various police agencies including CID and DB are working to prevent fraud. However, online fraud is not going to be handled. There are many types of fraud going on online. Shopping, jobs, dollars and relationships are all kinds of traps organized by the organized cycle. The social media is increasingly using Facebook as a target for fraud. A large number of foreigners living illegally in this country have resorted to deception by colluding with local fraudsters. According to an intelligence report, the number of illegal aliens in the country is about 13,000. 900 of them are in jail. Most of those in jail are being held on fraud charges. Meanwhile, Zaheer, a worker of a textile mill, lost three and a half lakh rupees in the possession of his Middle Eastern expatriate brother. Zaheer said that in April last year, he met a person named 'Ganesh K' on Facebook. Ganesh K introduced himself as a US military officer. He proposed to set up a hospital in Bangladesh, saying that 30 per cent of the company's dividend would be given to Zahir if he cooperated. Zaheer fell into the trap of his greed. In May of that year, a customs official, Sej, said a parcel had arrived in his name from the United States. Zaheer realizes that he has fallen into the clutches of the fraudster when he threatened to demand more money after taking away three and a half lakh rupees for fear of the cost of sending the parcel and the dollar in the parcel. Not only this, with the help of online fraud you can do wonders. On April 20, DB police arrested 10 members of a foreign criminal gang from Pallabi area of the capital. The ringleader was Henry Ochita Okochoko, an African citizen. Henry was arrested by the CID two years ago on charges of embezzling millions of rupees to get a gift from a foreign friend. After a few months he was released on bail and started cheating again. Although he came to Bangladesh for a few months, Henry stayed in this country for four years. Some of the arrested people talk about teaching and work with him, while others come to this country as footballers or tourists and get involved in fraud. Experts say that the organized clique is using the greed of profiting from shortcuts as bait. If you want to avoid cheating, you have to avoid this greed. Additional IGP Banaj Kumar Majumder, head of the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI), told Jugantar that in order to secure bail for an accused, the police would have to provide proper information in the case. Second, those who are cheated do not get back the bulk of the money lost. Because fraudsters spend this money in various ways, which can no longer be recovered. For this reason, the victim at one time expressed reluctance to testify in the case. At this point, the verdict often goes to the cheater. Those who are tempted to take advantage of shortcuts are more likely to be deceived. Additional Commissioner (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Detective Police AKM Hafiz Akhter told Jugantar, "We are constantly receiving various allegations of online fraud." In a few months, we have brought several cycles of fraud under the law. "Monitoring is done online through its own cyber monitoring cell," he said, adding that fraud alone could not be stopped by the police. Ordinary people need to be much more aware of this. Greed must be avoided. If you are cheated, you have to complain to the law enforcement immediately. Advocate Manzil Morshed, a legal expert, told Jugantar that there is a criminal law to prevent fraud. There is also a section of the Digital Security Act against online fraud. However, this definition is not complete. It is very difficult to ensure the punishment of online fraudsters through this law. So this definition of law needs to be amended a little more. So that the real culprits can be brought under the law and punishment can be ensured. Relevant sources said that middle class people are more likely to fall into the trap of such fraudsters. Most of them are victims of petty fraud. They are not interested in taking legal recourse for fear of trouble. Another law enforcement source said there were hundreds of fraudulent gangs operating in the capital alone. Huge range in cyber world. So that it is not possible to keep a close watch on the law enforcement agencies. In some cases the victim gets the remedy but most of the cases remain hidden. ANM Imran Khan, assistant director of the media wing of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), told Jugantar that the RAB had arrested 355 fraudsters in 161 raids in the last four months. Of these, 60 were arrested in 36 raids in January, 93 in 50 raids in February, 126 in 44 raids in March and six in 39 raids in April. There have been 181 cases in this regard. In 2021, RAB arrested 639 people for fraud. And 4,526 fraudsters have been arrested since its inception till 2020. Online fraudsters are more likely to be among those arrested, he said.
