A guy was detained by the Kolkata Police for defrauding people under the guise of offering jobs by fabricating a false Facebook profile for the Kolkata Port Trust. According to police allegations, a group of criminals were luring job seekers with promises of employment in docks, ships, and offices by fabricating a profile of the Kolkata Port Trust.
They used to gather information about job seekers, steal their money, and deceive them. The criminals have also been known to mail victims forged Kolkata Port Trust official documents.
The situation came to light when a job applicant reported the group to the Kolkata police’s Cyber police station.
