Fake shopping portal busted by police

 

                                                                                                                                                   BENGALURU: A fake shopping portal, raided by police for allegedly duping gullible customers with false advertisements, will be shut down soon, a senior police official said.

"We will order shutting down the fake web site after completing the investigation and filing charge-sheet against the six accused partners who created the portal (BIGSOP.com) and used payment gateways of many banks for transactions," Bengaluru joint commissioner of Police Hemant Nimbalkar told IANS here.

The six accused were arrested Saturday and jailed Sunday after a court remanded them to six-day judicial custody pending investigation.

"We busted the fake portal by taking suo motu action on a complaint one of its victims posted on our Twitter account, alleging he was duped by the web site, by first declaring him a lucky winner of an iPhone for Rs 599 but not delivering the handset despite remitting the amount through a bank's payment gateway," Nimbalkar said.

We have not come to conclusion to pinpoint any links with any foreign country though our investigations are still going on,'' said Himanshu Roy, joint commissioner of police (crime).

Google complaint against Noida clone

Google India on Monday approached the city cyber crime cell to file a complaint against a Noida-based company for forgery and trademark violation, police said.   According to the complaint, Royal E-Kutir has duped several investors through its Sector 10-based unit named
'Google Enterprises Private Limited', which also bears the Google logo.

"Google had sent a legal notice to the firm on September 19, 2011, asking the firm to remove 'Google' from the company's name and stop using their logo. The company had agreed on removing the logo but refused to change the name. Later, in October that year, Google received several complaints that the company was duping investors using brand names such as Google and Tata," said Triveni Singh, head of the Noida cyber crime cell.
