Unidentified persons creating fake profiles to secure phone numbers of girls
Using fake profiles on the social media platform Instagram, a gang of unidentified persons allegedly secured the WhatsApp numbers of several girl students from the rural areas of Kozhikode district and have been using them to spread obscene content.
Many students in high school and higher secondary classes were sent pornographic videos and obscene messages from phone numbers registered in other countries. The parents of the students, many of them from a local school near Mukkom, have approached the police with screenshots of the messages.
“The fraudsters secured my WhatsApp number by sending messages to one of my Instagram friends using a fake profile they created with my photographs. Many students exchanged the numbers of their friends with the fake account holders unaware of the trickery,” said a Class X girl, who approached the police for action. She said they also threatened to upload morphed images of the girls on various social media pages.
