  • | Friday | 23rd August, 2019

The Cyber Cell of the Gandhinagar police helped recover Rs 24.31 lakh that was stolen from a manufacturing unit in Chhatral GIDC. According to a complaint filed with the cyber cell, Chhatral GIDC-based AMI Refractrahold was in the business of manufacturing and sale of steel to various industries. The Iran-based company was yet to pay the AMI Refractrahold for one of its consignments. According to the police, the accused (whose identity is so far not known) created an email id amirefractrohodl@dr.com which was similar to the original email id of the company amirefractrahold@.com. The email sought that the payment be made into a different account which the Iran-based company did.

The Cyber Cell of the Gandhinagar police helped recover Rs 24.31 lakh that was stolen from a manufacturing unit in Chhatral GIDC. However, the cops are yet to nab the accused. According to a complaint filed with the cyber cell, Chhatral GIDC-based AMI Refractrahold was in the business of manufacturing and sale of steel to various industries. Iran-based Amol Carborudom was one of its clients, and the dealings between the two companies were done over with emails. The Iran-based company was yet to pay the AMI Refractrahold for one of its consignments. When someone got to know about this it, the person acted as a 'middle-man' to get the payment on his or her name, said the police. According to the police, the accused (whose identity is so far not known) created an email id amirefractrohodl@dr.com which was similar to the original email id of the company amirefractrahold@.com. The person then wrote to the Iran-based company asking them for payment. They also made a duplicate copy of the company's letterhead and even managed a fake signature of the general manager on the mail. The email sought that the payment be made into a different account which the Iran-based company did. It was only later that the company came to realise that it had been cheated.
