Giving away your information for free isn’t always what it seems to be, especially when someone announces a new business that was never intended to be anyway. The whole purpose of this exercise is to collect people’s information under false premises and exactly this has happened in India.
Sujankumar Narsimmareddy Thaduvayi was arrested by a cyber crime investigation cell after they received a complaint from ADAG. Apparently the guy setup a free blog site on blogger pretending to act as the ADSAG company using their logo and the company’s chiefs photograph unlawfully.
The website claimed that ADAG is intending to enter into MLM target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://gobala.linktrackr.com/buildingonabudget-mlmrkeywords">MLM by selling insurance policies and mobile phone handsets starting April 10th. Once ADAG (Reliance Anil Dhirubai Ambani Group) got wind of the scam they alerted authorities who then managed to trace the perpetrator via an IP address to a cyber cafe in Adilabad.
The cyber crime unit soon managed to isolate the guy via the cafe’s logbook and arrested him on charges of forgery and cheating by impersonation.
This just goes to show that you shouldn’t believe everything you read and hear online and ALWAYS double check your information sources.
