The gang was exposed on the complaint of a victim who had called up a toll-free number of Axis Bank from Google. It was later found to be fake as no one picked that call but he received another call from another number posing to be a bank employee. 

The victim was sent a link on which he was supposed to click to resolve his issue with the bank. However, he was duped of Rs 63,800 as soon as he clicked on it.
