TW Newsdesk, March 16:Two men have been detained for allegedly being involved in lending the bank account of one of them for transfer of proceeds from an online fraud that involved deactivating SIM cards and hacking email IDs of targets and faking them.

Police stated that this was a case of “SIM swapping” where the fraudsters deactivate the SIM card of the target person and divert his or her banking information to a new SIM card, so the account holder is not alerted when transactions are made from his or her account.
