The retired 73-year-old professor had filed a complaint last year alleging that he received numerous messages that offered him to redeem his credit card points. Thus, he uploaded his card details on the web link provided in the text messages, after which a deduction of Rs. 60,000 was made.

In the investigation, the details of the transaction made via the professor’s credit card were analyzed to collect data of the accused. According to the police, the accused is Vikas Jha, who bought Amazon Gift Cards from the money and sold them further.

Later, it was found that a woman in Hyderabad had redeemed those gift cards. She got those from her brother who purchased them online on a website. The IP address of that transaction was also checked and it came out to be the same which was used to send messages to the professor.
