To know about Wilco, it is the company which mainly deals in publishing/exporting and importing books. They found out towards the end of July that they were not receiving payments for the books they had delivered. According to a mid-day report, on condition of anonymity, a police officer said, “When the publication house contacted some of their clients, they were told that payments had been made within the due date to a new account, details regarding which were sent to them. On getting the email ID and account number through which all the communication happened, the firm realised that they had been duped.”
