According to police, the man who is into the imitation jewellery business fell into the trap while browsing the internet for the helpline number of the LimeRoad from where he had bought the products by availing an offer earlier this week.

Police said that he rang up the customer care number found on the internet, and the fraudster who impersonated a LimeRoad executive made him install the AnyDesk application, a third-party application that allows another person to view your mobile activities.
