💨 Abstract

Eight individuals, including employees from two major mobile service providers and shop owners, were arrested in Mumbai for illegally porting mobile numbers without Know Your Customer documents. These numbers were provided to cyber fraudsters who created WhatsApp groups for online scams, particularly bogus share investments and trade. The gang allegedly sold over 3,000 numbers in this manner, defrauding people of several crore rupees.
