NAWADA: Cyber frauds often conceive innovative ideas to swindle people, but a gang in Bihar took their fertile imagination to another level. Believe it or not, they were running ‘All India Pregnant Job Agency‘ in Nawada district. The job was to make women pregnant and the ‘payment‘ offered was handsome – a proposition lucrative enough for many to fall for the trap.
On Friday, cops busted the gang and arrested eight persons, who lured gullible people to deposit a small amount of Rs 799 as registration fee and avail a chance to get handsome returns of Rs 13 lakh on successfully making pregnant such women who have been unable to bear a child.
However, police said the kingpin of the racket, Munna Kumar, managed to escape.The modus operandi, according to the DSP, was to contact gullible people on their WhatsApp numbers, seeking help in impregnating “unfortunate” women who were unable to conceive from their respective husbands or live-in partners.
Those desirous to help such women in distress were asked to first register themselves by paying a fee Rs 799. Once registered, they were told that photos of several women would be sent to them to select which one they desired to impregnate.
Once the choice was made, the person was asked to make a “security deposit”, with the amount ranging between Rs 5,000 and Rs 20,000. The prettier the woman, the higher the amount, the DSP added.
The cyber thugs assured the men that after successful conception, they would be paid the “prize money” of Rs 13 lakh. Even if unsuccessful, they were assured of a “consolation prize” of Rs 5 lakh, to be credited to their bank accounts, police said.
Police seized nine mobile phones, 2 printers and several data sheets from the accused.
