Cyber fraudsters hacked the website of a bookshop in Greater Noida West to rob people who placed online orders for books, police said on Sunday, adding that they have received a complaint from the owner of the book shop. The hacking incident came to light on May 10 when a man visited the shop asking for books he paid for online and he was told that online payments are neither accepted nor books were delivered at home by the shop. Ashwini Kumar, the owner of Bhartiya Book Mart at French Arcade shopping complex in Sector 16B, said the mobile phone number on his website was replaced by cyber fraudsters two weeks ago, and 20 people who placed online orders for books have been defrauded since then, police said. Sumit Saxena, a resident of Supertech Ecovillage 1, was cheated of ₹7,000 after he placed an online order for books through the online contact number.
