A Shocking Job Offer That Turned Into a Cyber Fraud Trap
A weird and nagging cyber scam has returned once again to Bihar, ensnaring many victims. The scammers posted advertisements on various platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and other social media sites, promising to pay up to ₹10 lakh to anyone who could help a woman conceive. Police in Nawada district recently busted the operation and exposed how fraudsters camouflage the scam as a tempting “job opportunity.”
How the Scam Lured Victims
The scammers operated under the name “All India Pregnant Job Service,” posing as a genuine organization that claimed to help childless couples. They posted advertisements on platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and other social media sites, promising up to ₹10 lakh to anyone who could help a woman conceive
In an effort to give it an element of legitimacy, they introduced tiered payment options. They promised the victims a full payout if the pregnancy succeeded and assured compensation between ₹50,000 and ₹5 lakh even for failed attempts. It was the surprising element and the promise of easy cash that enticed many men to join the racket.
The Modus Operandi of the Fraudsters
Once they had a lead, they went through a familiar pattern of duping people. They demanded “verification” through Aadhaar and PAN cards, pictures, sometimes even phone numbers. Once they gained the confidence of their victims, they asked for early payments towards registry, medical https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/10-lakh-for-impregnating-childless-women-old-scam-new-victims-in-bihar-nawada-10586305 requirements, hotel reservations, or legal matters.
As soon as victims sent the money, the scammers cut off all communication. The victims then realized that no meeting or service would take place and that they would not receive any payment. The police later confirmed that no women were involved and that the entire operation was a scam designed to extract money.
Arrests and Police Investigation
Acting on a tip-off, Nawada police raided the area and arrested two suspects, one of whom is a minor. In the course of the investigation, police recovered various items including mobile phones, advertisements, chats, bank transaction statements, and ID documents of various victims.
The police filed cases against the accused under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Act for cheating, forgery, and fraud. In addition, they invoked relevant sections of the Information Technology Act in the case. Moreover, the authorities believe more people could be behind this crime.
Not the First Time: A Repeated Pattern
This is not an isolated incident either. Last January 2025, the police in the state of Bihar arrested https://buzzook.com/watch-kiara-advani-shares-first-glimpse-of-5-month-old-daughter-saraayah-calls-her-my-mini/ three people for operating the same “pregnancy job” scam. Apparently, the scammers continued operating the scam despite previous police crackdowns on the issue. They just used new contact numbers and created new Facebook accounts.
An expert points that this trend indicates scammers’ use of old fraud techniques with new variations, especially in regions where consumers are not yet cautious about internet fraud.
Why People Fall for Such Scams
Cybercrime experts note that these scams succeed because they combine monetary rewards, anonymity, and shock value. The unusual and extraordinary nature of the offer lowers the victim’s natural suspicion. At the same time, the lure of easy money pushes people to take higher risks. Meanwhile, online anonymity allows scammers to operate in the shadows, making them difficult to trace.
Police Advisory and Public Warning
Reports are calling on people not to fall victim to some job advertised on the internet that require payment upfront or promise bizarrely good incentives. Government representatives emphasize that fully legal medical services related to fertility will not be advertised on the internet by chance.
Campaigns are being launched to make people aware of cyber frauds, with a noticeable emphasis on reporting suspicious cases at once.
