- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ม.ค. 2025
- OTP Mafia Documentary: Every day, around 20,000 Indians fall victim to cyber criminals, who also scam more than 140 Americans daily. And these are just the reported cases. An NDTV investigation found that Jamtara-like dens of cyber fraud have sprouted across the country. More than half these cases - 54% - have been reported from just four districts. After several months of investigation, NDTV, as part of its #Consumerconnectndtv initiative, has produced a documentary to make internet users aware of cyber fraudsters and their MO, so they can be cautious. NDTV will consistently cover topics that impact the common man as part of its NDTV Originals series.

Scam call centres absolutely cannot operate without local police knowledge and/or cooperation.
True
Sare police mile hote hain . Mere sath fruad hua tha, chor ko pakad k bhi diya maine police ko par police chor diya chor ko. Bola under 18 hai this that. But mujhe pakka yakin hai, police usse setting kar li
Police & Politicians are definitely part of this, without their support these illiterates scammers can't pull of thousands of cores scams
True, but sometimes they are very good at faking. I mean they also run a real call centre simultaneously.
@@Admin-yp2rr you're literally saying the same thing I am
I am from Kolkata, and I can assure that Kolkata is a big hub of such crimes. Back in 2015 when I was working in a call center, someone approached me to work for him and offered 3 times the salary I was receiving back then. He even told me that I will be able to work from the comfort of my home and won't be required to go to any office. I rejected the offer as I knew what kind of job that was.
Fast forward to 2019. I was working in another company in marketing department. There I befriended a guy named Sid who was a graphics designer over there. He once told me that he worked for a scam company for 5 months but eventually left because he was too afraid to get caught someday. I still remember the words he said that day, "Bhaiyaji, the police will never arrest the top guys as they provide 'security money' to the ruling party. But they will arrest us small workers to prove that they are working".
Sharks are left out because they can throw breadcrumbs.
I know some of them...but whom to inform...
@@GautamSharma-qo6xj by sting operation.
Thullon ka bhi setting hta hy scamsters police and ruling party nexus
so true
Good awareness 'OTP mafiya' which has been taken by Ndtv.....
Good team work.
Salute Ndtv
It is so shameful for we Indians. We have to curb this menace.
Good work by NDTV team, spreading awareness, that's how a ground level report coverage should be done
😂🤣😅 fake raids, criminal is ready with face covered, fake police, all actors, Elections are here, 4 years, from media to police to cyber to top govt is involved in these scams, and just before elections they play hero, by arresting fake or innocent people and bholi janta will believe this all, 40-60 % scam money is distributed in govt and media officials.. Please dont trust them. 😅😂😂
These scammers makes India name proud in international news
@@tltarzan678the owners of news channels are far bigger extortionists!😂
They make Bharat | India | Sone Ki Chidiaya | Vishwaguru Bharat make prouder!
it appears the crime rate is very high in NORTH INDIA.. cheap mentality and now these uneducated north indians are also entering south... the diversity is getting collapsed in south due to these criminals.... From an international view its just Indian who done this, this needs to strict control and can be done only by Politicians...
Good work NDTV for alerting citizens, hopefully even a far away villager will understand this message loud and clear on Cyber Crimes
"There's a monetary loss but there's a lot of humanity that's lost with it as well " ❤️
Iam also victim
Nobody cares about humanity...humans the least!
The cops who have to catch the frauds swiftly and secretly are going out on raids with sirens on!
Kudos to Saurabh bhai and team. This kind of report and documentaries let us know what we should do to protect ourselves from Such frauds.
What a great way to spread awareness by NDTV. Keep up the good work Saurabh and team! :)
DEAR SHRUTI 2089, WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT THIS ? NDTV IS NARENDRA MODI KA GOD KA CHANNEL HAI. IF NDTV IS A GOOD CHANNEL, WILL NDTV COME CLEAN ON GAUTAM ADANIS CORRUPTION ????? NDTV SHD INVESTIGATE VARIOUS SCAMS OF GAUTAM ADANIS FRIEND NARENDRA MODI .... WHY WERE CAG OFFICERS TRANSFERRED ON SEPT 12 2023 ? WHY WERE
BBC DOCUMENTARIES BANNED ?
thats the best coverage I have seen in recent times. Otherwise media is busy in faltu and negative news.
How did you miss the most crucial question to ask the Bank, Police, and criminals - how they are getting the data? Are they hacking bank databases or buying them from hackers? If yes, then why are banks unable to protect customer data. This is very important to know from where all of them are getting data.
THEY EVEN KNOW WHEN A PERSON HAS VISITED A BANK BRANCH, EITHER INSIDER INVOLVEMENT OR CCTV HACKS OR..,....... ?!!!!
Mobile number data are easily hacked by hacker if the site you signup and gave your mobile number there has low level security. Bank Database are not that easy to hack though their security level is top notch.
Most of the banks and companies have outsourced customer care services to call centres.
They are the one selling your data.
I did small research on them, they have very precise information about their target like their card expiry date and sometime customer recent bank visit.
And their target is not limited to particular bank geography, not limited to public or private bank. So insider job can be ruled out.
Trust me .. this is something very big .. they know how to exploit bank security to fetch these kind of details. And these kind of frauds are happening with American bank or western banks also. So I assume some international hackers there which hack and sell these banks information on dark web.
There is a simple explanation to your question. Nowadays most people post everything on SM including their personal details. So there is nothing called privacy
Excellent coverage 💯
This is investigative journalism.
Was talking about the same thing today as a concern and then found this video. Seriously much needed in society. A lot of US Citizens generalise Indians as scammers.
Indeed, In IT sector, many of them bidding on project. They are winning the bid and ask for 20-50% advance before starting the work and they get disappeared. That portrait all Indian workers as scammers.
DILEMMA IS NOT ENOUGH JOBS FOR COMPUTER N OTHER ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT EXPERTS, OR, RARELY THE CRIMINAL CHROMOSOME/ENVIRONMENT? POVERTY MAY DRIVE SOME BUT THE MAJORITY ARE GRAVITATING TO SUCH MEANS AS A SHORTCUT TO THE JAZZY UPPER CLASS LIFE, HOWEVER SHORT IT MAY BE....
It's not a coincidence that you spoke same thing and you found TH-cam video on this. Google is listening to your talks all the time. You will find online guides on how to turn that OFF
"generalise Indians as scammers" I mean where's the lie. Im an Indian and literally every Indian you meet, are high grade scammers, and sadly, this cheapness starts in the family itself, who encourage their kids to be unethically opportunistic to be 'street smart'. Sadly the biggest scammers in your lives would be your parents, cousins, relatives and your very best friends! You can't change a situation unless you do the first step i.e. accepting the truth instead of being in denial.
Ye he digitalising k fayde ...or bano digital without. Any rules regulation..... awareness.....jinke pas 1% dimag he vo samaj jayga ye crime kon karwata he or in logo ki itni himmat kese hoti he aise crime krne ki???...upar se niche Sara system isme Mila huva he..... public sikar banegi or kuch nhi hoga 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I have been watching Jim browning, Scammer payback and Kitaboga since years. No indian channel covered these scammers like this one, good initiative.
Saurabh never disappoints with his reporting and stories, best wishes saurabh may you shine to the fullest 💐💐
Thank you NDTV for reporting this major issue which a common man is facing !! respect for saurabh
Really break my heart to know that there are people who lost everything due to these scams and even ended there lives. So much technology advancement happening in AI, Quantum computing and what not still people have to go through this.
Great work by the team to cover this.
Tf 😢😢
More the advancement, more will be the level of scams. Criminals actually use AI nowadays to level up their game.
The best to stop being scammed is to talk to someone else. Always keep calm and think clear. We make worst decision when we are panicked. And that's how they take advantage of this.
NDTV धन्यवाद आपका जागरूकता के लिए
Just like Mumbai police abolished Underworld by Direct encounters, Delhi police and Haryana police should do same in North India..
And who says that happened ,I was in Mahim last week , saw some people asking for hafta ..
Crimes never go away , it just gets organised
the answer to this is to make stricter laws like sharia/islamic laws and give more power to police to do encounters, only then you can get crime free state... eg: in UAE ... Indian law is just in books, it cannot do anything, any petty criminal gets bail in just 2 days. police and politicians cannot do anything with these useless laws..
We need more intelligent people like you who can advice police how to do their work.
@@BebaakAPstill the fear of underworld is not as much as before.
@@prakharprabhat585 I said organised crime
This is called reporting. Hats off
Congratulations Saurabh, great work. Very detailed documentary.
Very good documentary @ndtv.. sometimes i feel ashamed to be an Indian because of this kind of happenings in india.. May the local law enforcements be more vigilant and act upon these things.. because some indian people are doing scams, it effects indians indirectly
We Indians are also ashamed that you are an Indian. Crimes like these happen around the world but you won't generation then.
Good if it impacts you.
Yeah it's a shame that these kinds of scams are happening, but it's not just limited to India.
Just a product of lack of opportunities and jobs my friends
@@rohitagarwal1509
Lol.
Product of greed.
Amazing work Ndtv this must be shown in all schools, college and digital sensitisation is very essential
Absolutely poor work if you know it in details
Well done Saurabh & Team. Investigative journalism is an important arm of media which seems lost somewhere in the TRP war, political manipulation, prime time shoutings etc but Saurabh has reignited some hopes. Keep it up! Continue to open layers and keep the news away from noise.
Saurabh’s boss,
Sir pl give more wings to your boy.
Regards
Great work!! Please make More videos like this on medicals and corruption in local bodies.
GOI should pay the victims across the world atleast till date with 12% intrest.
1st- That will work as ointment for victims as well as india's goodwill.
2nd- Once we starts paying money to others, we will be more cautious and will try to get frauds on priority basis.
😂i understand COVID has made you negative.. once government start compensation... then there are so many unemployment that everyone will start claiming they are cheated. Rather Government should form a seperate team to proactively hunt down.
very informative, thanks NDTV
It is crystal clear from this report that supply of SIM cards to these scammers is the source of problem. As a common man I can't get SIM, so investigating agencies have to focus on telecom companies and check how SIM issuance can be stopped.
They get use and throw one time recharge commercial nos in 100s from telecoms and they are with fake names and addresses.
it was really good keep up the good work NDTV
Viral hona chahiye ye Documentary ❤❤
A must watch Documentary Film for every Digital Humans😮
I lost all hopes for NDTV after the adani takeover. But this documentary is really great. Really great coverage and reporting by saurabh and his team. Keep making such documentaries.
Commendable work by Media. I appreciate it...
पुलिस को घूसख़ोरी में झूठे केसों में लोगों को फँसाने में कोई दिक़्क़त नहीं आती!!! सिर्फ़ गुनहगार को पकड़ने में सारी दिक़्क़तें आ जाती है 🤬🤬
Expecting investigation videos like this 🔥
Humare India me iss crime ki saja faansi honi chaiye.
Great work by the media people worked in this, kudos🎉
All the organized crime can never happen without local police support! Local police has every info about all the illegal activities going on within their region, The scammers, and criminals pay their fees. Corruption has taken the Voldemort effect in India.
Good Report Saurav Shukla ji...
Thank you so much for making this types of documentary.🙏🙏🙏
that's awesome coverage NDTV, did not expect such a good initiative from Indian media, feel sorry for the American woman who lost a major chunk of her savings.
COOL DUDE, WHAT AWESOME YOU FOUND ????? NDTV IS NARENDRA MODI KA GOD KA CHANNEL HAI. IF NDTV IS A GOOD CHANNEL, WILL NDTV COME CLEAN ON GAUTAM ADANIS CORRUPTION ????? NDTV SHD INVESTIGATE VARIOUS SCAMS OF GAUTAM ADANIS FRIEND NARENDRA MODI .... WHY WERE CAG OFFICERS TRANSFERRED ON SEPT 12 2023 ? WHY WERE BBC DOCUMENTARIES BANNED ?
Highly appreciated for this video
It is not a coincidence that both the areas mentioned in this report are hotbeds of the peaceful community:
1) Nuh (where the recent riots took place)
2) Mewat (Tableeghi Jamat)
In the recent riots at Nuh, the rioters specifically targeted the cyber crime cell that had been setup at Nuh to track such criminal activities. This money then goes on to fund illegal conversion and terrorist activities.
Haa tere ghar me baccha hua toh tab bhi yahi kehna Peacefull community ka hai... Kutte ke pille bhakto ko har chiz me ek dharm ko ghusedna hai
cyber crimes happen in jamtara too those are not from "peaceful community" . Who are they funding then ? It has nothing to do with religion. Stop finding a communal angle in everything
@@abgrafix In Jamtara the funds go to fund Maoist activites. There's a nexus at play in all this.
There is no proof of such things. The youth involves usually does this because it's a easy money and zero risk of getting caught and bailable.
This is stupid. Most of the big level scammer call centres are Baniyas and not because there is any religious affiliation but because they can invest in sophisticated scam equipments. Stop reading everything from religious glasses. Us vs them strategy only works for politicians, people with no conscience are in every religion. And before you say i am a muslim, i am a Kshatriya Hindu
Thank you for spreading information
TV advertisement banne chahiye is chij k liye
Awesome coverage by NDTV ❤
This type of content I need from any news channel ❤
There is no point in tracing, catching and prosecuting these scammers. How many people can we arrest and how much energy we will waste behind it? Also, even if we catch all the criminals, can we guarantee there won't be new people who will get involved?
The solution is to secure the internet. Also, there has to be some very very fast acting system which can reverse the money if the victim complains and proves that he is scammed.
Till then spreading awareness is the solution. We have to protect ourselves.
Very good presentation. Very needfull for the time
Nice awareness by ndtv
Thanks for informing us large crime of scam and people loosing all their saving. !
Salute for NDTV, Our fourth pillar can do this.
Public awareness campaign are essential.. Also, Stringent norms for purchase of SIM card and transaction monitoring of Accounts along with Strong laws against cyber crime are to be brought in swiftly..
the biggest gap which needs to be plugged is the state jurisdiction of Police, we need a police which has authority over multiple states at same time.
Those suggestions seem like major privacy issues. It's actually what the government wants, more control. We need to monitor our own cyber habits and security, not give control to the government? That's a bad idea! We just need to locate these companies individually and deal with them, and their collaborators, without having all of our privacies invaded. Just like camera's do not prevent crime...they might help solve one, but that's after the fact. Being surveilled 24/7 is not the answer to ending crime. That's what law enforcement, governments want you to believe. And now some people beg for it. Citizens willfully choosing to have their privacies invaded... Do you really want to live in a world like that? Not me. Easiest solution is to stay away from shady deals. Don't borrow money from loan sharks, etc. and treat everything online like it's a scam. Do your homework first. If it seems to be too good to be true, then it probably is. Don't lie to yourself. Scammers love easy prey! Any money or dignity lost should be a lesson learned. But harming yourself? or others? I have a feeling some of these people have other emotional issues.
Good report. I strongly believe that if the law enforcement agencies are serious, they can bring this menace down. But are they??
If they bring police reforms half of them take VRS.
Very good Saurabhji
90% of the time Police is with them. Since this documentary is made with them only one side is shown. When you consider those cases where police is accomplice, imagive how big this problem is.
the police is alleged to have released cyber criminals by taking Rs. 1.5 lac bribe per arrested person.
15:17 Very good Shabbash, telecommunications company are giving sim cards they are part of scam
Congratulations to NDTV for getting full cooperation from the governments and various police authorities. Without their cooperation this couldn't have possible. I am waiting for the PM's interview with NDTV.
He will walk out after 5 minutes 😅😂😂😂😂
Modi doesn’t mind losing 2024 Loksabha elections but will never appear on Mainstream media. In case if he dares to come then again Canadian Kumar will interview him. Question no.1) Kay app nay aj ball shampoo keya. Keyaaaa? to kounsa shampoo 🎉😂
Absolutely brilliant fearless great job by NDTV team specially Saurav Shukla bhai you’re real journalist salute 🫡
The once who are educated falls for these kind of scams is a eye opener- Education doesn't make one smart but common sense does.
These scammers don't feel bad even if they get caught by the police and go to jail. After they're released, they just go back to doing the same thing. In their villages, their friends also do it, and they don't think it's a big deal. Easy money tempts them to do it again. We, as users, need to be careful, and we should tell others about it to keep everyone safe.
And these kind of awareness videos are always helpful. Good job
This is called journalism ❤❤
Good Job team.... keep going....
Not possible without police involvement and cooperation.
Jamtara series me dikhaya ki malaai upar tak jaati hai MLA mp.
Kudos to true caller for identifying these scamsters.
more program like this should be made so that people are aware instead of non sense political dramas.
Thank you NDTV for the work you do!
Although I don't live in India and not an Indian, but I know Hindi. Indians are good people, but this type of people can give a bad name to the whole community.
I want to add one thing, that Indian government is much responsible for this. Why the government can't locate fake SIM cards distributers, and the fake like bank accounts?
*Netflix level cinematography 🫡*
*This is what "media" should do as a fourth pillar. Really good coverage!!*
And now when they learn how to use AI, who knows what will happen. AI generated realistic fake vidoes and pics, could be a new weapon. It is time that now Govt really realises this as a major threat and do something about it.
Already they have cheated few individuals by creating voice samples of relatives using AI.
Humans don't need advanced technology to live peacefully and comfortably. But scientists are forcing us towards it. And sooner or later technology will create irreversible problems for the whole human society. Advanced technology is demonic.
This is perfect journalism 🥰👌👌👌 shared the video,
Thanks for bringing this massive issue forward. This handful people bring shame and disrepute to India and Indians. Slowly but surely our perception abroad will take a hit. Hope the government and law enforcement tackle this menace seriously
very well made this should go viral
Customer awareness is the key here. Every citizen of the country must have some basic knowledge about laws.
really wonderful documentary great saurabh bhai !!
The problem in India is the laws are not strict. They know after 3 or 6 months they will come out and do the same work . Foolish man who made this law and the wise man who follows the law .
Good coverage from ndtv for this tyoe awereness.
Can the police devise some methods where the scammers can be identified by those who see the Crooks. Like some permanent marks on some part of their body which can be seen by all. Of course provided the law of our land permit this.
No law would premit permanent branding of a criminal.
@@ashmait True.
Not only is it illegal, it is inhuman
@@ashmait I agree but again they will be active.
Maza aagaya. Sab kalaakaar hai... India bohot aage badhega
I know the doctor who was scammed. She is a real nice person who loved Indian culture and people.I am so sorry to hear that this happened to her..
Thanks to US screaming human rights and religious targeting, over 80% are muslims. This whole area is muslim dominated, even police can't go in these areas but if government does anything strict then US is the first to start screaming.
But they don't target women right?
What you mean?
good job sir salute .... i m proud for you sir
Me being a software developer, I can tell that social media platforms can detect atleast 50% of such activities using AI with slight manual intervention. I wonder why are they not serious abt it. Second, indian authorities can do a lot of things too. Easily available SIM cards are big issues.
Funny thing is , even though u report a fake profile , facebook says it's a good profile and can't be deleted 😅😅
India or western world should use the informative messages instead of dial ring tone like Pakistan use it I was shell shocked 😳 when I visited Pakistan this year they educating ppl about fraud and other social issues through the audio message when you ring someone in Pakistan you hear a audio message and text messages from government as well provide ppl awareness about issues like bank fraud or fake investment frauds or fake loan app frauds
Plus every SIM card issued in Pakistan against ur finger print same goes for bank account so it’s very hard to do that kind of fraud it does happen but ratio is very low I heard they were using ppl from villages so what government did in pakistan u can only open bank account in pakistan if u are working or a tax filer and banks are been told to look out for ppl who come to open bank account with uneducated ppl what purpose they want bank account for this is the best way I think should be implemented all over the world in England we lose around about 20 billion to fraud every year and in Pakistan they got name check on account too so u can know who’s account u sending money to it only started in England 3 years back but Pakistan was using this technology since 2012 so it’s hard for ppl to give any convincing name to give when making victims send money to police or government departments
@@maysemali5382 india also uses that for thali bajao and selfie programs
@@maysemali5382 govt and law enforcement can easily tract and curb this menace and especially bank can help track them very easily but no one bother much about common man....only when influential people gets duped and it cone to notice they track down the fraudster. This live cam record was one such influential people most likely and police knew their whereabouts by tracking ....how did they record like film setting lol
Nice work... do more of these kind of mini documentary...
If you are new to the internet, then you are here to be scammed.
Excellent 👌 documentary 👍
Modi media won't show this in their prime show...kudos to NDTV
Saurabh Shukla good work big fan
Good investigation and reporting
One can loose so much in scams but you can gain so much in devotion
Great work by team 👏
Why the govt is silent in this matter?? They should take proper steps and ipc/crpc should be amended. Its high time.
Government itself supporting and getting commissions. Pathetic
@@rajeshx1983 this is the main reason. Cyber crime laws in india are very feeble. Its time now we change. The number of scams are increasing, fake orders , scam otps everything.
Very informative & awareness video👍
No doubt, very excellent news
This should be a non-bailable arrest, and atleast 15years of imprisonment. with intense labour for 15years... all that they have looted should be recovered by intense labour work.
Thanks for informing this very deadly scam business . It is disheartening to note.
Hamare CM Sahab ne to kabhi socha hi nahi. Educated and aaj ke time ke CM chahiye. For the growth of country.
Every one should watch this video.
Learn and be careful.😮
Please continue this type documentry and also focus on online shopping Scam just like pay latter scam at flipkart many of people who have scammed and no one have idea of it....
Very good work from NDTV
