Cyber Fraud Ring Targeting US Taxpayers Exposed in Bengaluru

A large-scale cyber fraud network operating out of Bengaluru has been exposed by state cyber crime units. The gang impersonated employees of the popular accounting software firm QuickBooks to extract money from American citizens. Victims were contacted with offers of tax guidance, license updates, and bookkeeping services. Once trust was established, callers demanded immediate payment for services that never materialized. During raids, police confiscated 44 SSDs, laptops, CPUs, and detailed calling scripts. Two main accused, Prashant and Akash, are believed to have orchestrated the scheme through a company called Circle Square LLC. The focus now shifts to recovering stolen funds and determining the full scope of the transnational scam.
