The police have unearthed “like and share” online fraud and arrested three persons. Dinesh, 28, a private firm employee staying in Ponniamman Medu, Madhavaram, was introduced by his colleague Sundar to the mobile app “share me”. After Sundar downloaded the app, the developer of the app enticed him with a money doubling scheme.

Dinesh and his friends lodged a complaint in the Madhavaram police station. The case was taken up by Cyber Crime Cell on the orders of Deputy Commissioner, Madhavaram, E.
