THANE: In another major development in the Ambernath-based fake call centre case, the police have learnt that the accused used to lurre youth by posting advertisements on various social networking sites. The investigators have also identified the three persons who were involved in processing the itunes card to convert the amount into cash. According to their modus operandi, the accused used to post various ads and motivational quotes to lure the youth. One such motivational quote read as, 'If call centre employees were honest'. A day after this was posted the cops raided the place. The company, Mount Logic Solutions, had also posted attractive pay scales along with a pick up and drop facility from Ambernath station. The best part of the deal was Saturday and Sunday off. Also, the company had claimed to give additional incentives based on their performance and even offered accomodation but only for experienced candidates. Meanwhile, a senior police official said that they have found that the callers were not getting any incentives for getting good business. ''They were paid somewhere between Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 per month. This means that the advertisements that they posted were misleading,'' the official said. ''We have recovered a number of mails and names of victims. This will help us in nailing the accused,'' the official added. The cops have so far found income amounting to Rs 1.60 crore from the company and they are tracking the money trail. Last Thursday, Mount Logic Solutions, which had allegedly duped US citizens, was raided and 25 employees were arrested.
