Narail:Police have arrested two individuals in Narail on charges of conducting online fraud through Facebook accounts created under various names. These accounts, including 'Baby Bike Shop BD' and 'Egyptian Chicken Sale Bazar', were used to post misleadingly attractive advertisements aimed at deceiving customers.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the arrested individuals are Mortaza, 27, from Pateshwari Dakshinpara in Kalia upazila, and Limon Molla, 27, a bKash agent from Narayanpur village in the same upazila. The arrests were made by members of the district Detective Branch (DB) police and the Cyber Crime Investigation Unit during early morning raids around 230 am on Wednesday.
Police seized three mobile phones allegedly used in the fraudulent activities, along with Tk 82,810 believed to have been acquired through the scam.
DB police Officer-in-Charge Md Alauddin stated that the suspects admitted to engaging in online fraud for nearly two years. They used enticing advertisements under names such as 'Baby Bike Shop BD', 'Baby Bike', 'Kolom Packaging Chakrir Dak 2.0', 'Egyptian Chicken Sale Bazar 2.0', and 'Kombol.bd' to promise low-priced products, collecting money from customers without delivering the goods.
