Indian Police Arrest 21 in Crypto Scam Impersonating Microsoft Support
Indian authorities have dismantled a cryptocurrency scam operation masquerading as Microsoft support staff, arresting 21 individuals in a coordinated raid. The cybercrime syndicate allegedly siphoned millions from victims through fraudulent activities.
Acting on intelligence, a joint task force comprising Cyber Command's special cell and Whitefield division officers stormed the offices of Musk Communications in Bangalore's Sigma Soft Tech Park. The two-day operation yielded laptops, hard drives, and mobile devices crucial to the investigation.
Forensic analysis reveals the group leased a 4,500 sq ft office space in August 2025, with monthly rents suggesting substantial operational scale. Investigators are now scrutinizing financial transactions and potential accomplices.
