Hyderabad: New batches of online fraudsters from Jamtara district of Jharkhand — infamous as a training hub for cyber criminals — are a cause of worry for the police. The Jamtara district is infamous for its tutorials where hundreds of youths are trained in phishing techniques. Various state police teams visit Jamtara as part of the probe to zero in on conmen, who are mostly school dropouts, according to the police.
As the popularity of Jamtara district spreads, the youths from the adjoining Dumka, Deoghar, Dhanbad and Giridih districts are also making a beeline to learn the rudimentaries of online cheating, said cyber crime inspector, K.V.M. Prasad. The Jharkhand police so far this year has caught 200 youngsters involved in phishing rackets.
