A 23-year-old man was held from Jharkhand’s Jamtara, infamous on social media as the phishing capital of the country, for allegedly duping a woman magistrate from Thane in Maharashtra, a police officer said on Friday.

The woman magistrate had complained that she had called a customer care number she found on the Internet after encountering problems while carrying out a credit card transaction on her mobile phone, Naupada Assistant Commissioner of Police Sonali Dhole said.
