Gurugram's cyber crime police unit has busted a fraudulent call centre in Udyog Vihar Phase-5 that used social media advertisements for herbal medicines to lure people with weight-loss promises, then pocketed crores of rupees without delivering any results or refunds. Three women were arrested from the premises during the raid.
How the Scam Was Run
The operation functioned under the banner of Kyarest Science and Wellness Private Limited, running targeted advertisements on Facebook and Instagram for herbal weight-loss products. Customers were specifically promised a 100 percent refund if the medicines did not work. In reality, neither money was returned nor complaints acknowledged once buyers found no change in their weight. To appear credible, those running the racket presented themselves as beauticians, dietitians, and doctors.
The Three Arrested Women
The women taken into custody have been identified as Mandeep, Neha, and Varsha. Investigators are also probing the roles of other individuals linked to the gang.
Seizures and Multi-State Fraud Trail
During the raid, police recovered 102 mobile phones, 150 SIM cards, 12 laptops, and additional electronic evidence. ACP Cyber Crime Gaurav Phogat said preliminary findings indicate the gang defrauded people of crores of rupees across several states, with Gujarat among those affected. The investigation is continuing and the full network of associates is still being identified.
