"These Chinese people formed companies in India and recruited many Indians as directors, translators (for translating Mandarin to English and vice versa), HR Manager and Tele callers. They obtained the documents of Indian persons and opened bank accounts by using their documents," the ED said.
The accused Chinese persons developed a mobile application in the name of "Keepsharer" and started its advertisement through WhatsApp and Telegram by offering part-time job opportunity to the youth. This app was linked with an investment app. For registration on this app, they collected money from youth. Further, they collected money from public also in the name of investment through this app.
The youth were given the task of liking the videos of celebrities and uploading them on social media. When the task was completed, they used to pay Rs 20 per video. For some time, money got credited in their application wallet but later the app was removed from the Google Playstore. The officials have alleged that the public was cheated with their investment amount and the remuneration to be paid, which ran into crores of rupees.
