While technology has made life easier for us, it has also led to new challenges. The latest threat comes in terms of bank frauds. According to the data furnished by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in December last year, State Bank of India (SBI) saw the highest number of employees penalised for their involvement in bank fraud over the course of past three years. It said that action was taken against 1,287 SBI officials between 2015 and 2017. Now, in what emerges as another serious case of fraud, a 54-year-old man from Jammu and Kashmir has been arrested for robbing people after promising them government jobs.

The police on Monday said that the man was arrested in Uttar Pradesh for allegedly cheating people to the tune of Rs 60 lakh. Deputy Commissioner of Police Avinash Mohanty said that a special police team arrested Gulam Mohammed Illahi alias Gulzar of Srinagar for having cheated 24 job-seekers after collecting Rs 60 lakh from them.

How the fraud was pulled?

The accused had promised victims government jobs in departments like Indian Railways, State Bank of India and Food Corporation of India, among others. He asked them to pay Rs 2.50 lakh each by creating  fake online website of Railway Recruitment Board and fake offer letters. The accused also conducted fake training and medical tests at Bardhaman, Kolkata, the official said.

After receiving the cash, the accused and others absconded from Hyderabad since June last year.

What you must do to avoid these scams?

1. Do not trust anyone promising jobs in exchange for money. 

2. Apply only through the official websites of various departments like Indian Railways and State Bank of India, among others. These portals would have a domain name ending with 'gov.in' or 'nic.in'.

3. Check the history of person or organisation promising the job. They should have an authenticated website and some social media presence. 

4. Do not share your bank details with anyone that includes bank account, cheque book details to credit and debit cards.
