Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega

The characters completely betray their build up in first few episodes and act opposite to what they were shown as, towards the end. Apart from cashing on the sensation of the subject of Phishing scams, you realise there is not much to it once you finish watching the whole season.

Worth a shot... Dont keep expectations but it's good acting show... But seems something is missing at the end little bit of incompleteness.

This series is not about cyber crime happening from jamtara. It's about a corrupt politician who is involved in phishing. 90% of the focus is on politian, gang rivalries, petty fights and how to capture the politician. Very less scope is given to show how phishing is done in jamtara . Every episode has 1 phishing call where scammer gets the credit card details.

There is no details about how phishing started in jamtara, how they get phone numbers, how they get so many sim cards, how they transfer the amount to bank accounts , how the scam is tracked to jamtara etc. Focus is only on the crime after phishing is done and its after effects. Cast is also a let down. Sp dolly was total misfit and also the cyber research guy.

This series is a big let down from Netflix. It's just another series about corrupt politician. The videos related to this series in YouTube from Netflix is much more better. Those who are expecting series about cyber crime , avoid this.

If you are looking for a crime series that will focus on the part of daily lifestyle, you are going to enjoy it. Jamtara crafts crisp episodes with dramatic hooks and mounting tension that urges you to click on "Next episode".

Until few years before, many people were not aware of this despicable place. I have been to this place few times not because I am near to this place or went for official or vacation -- I was forced to visit this place after being ripped off my life and money. Mass banking fraud happened only during last 5-6 years, after which this place came in the national media attention. But back then 8-9 years before, they did many other techniques to defraud people.

One among the victim was myself who became a victim of admission fraud. I hail from one of the remote village in North West India. I was 19 years old then, just completed my H.S school and gave medical entrance exam. My parents are poor and uneducated. It was in 2011, one fine morning these scumbags called me and inform me that I was being selected to one of the medical college in West Bengal through (AIPMT medical exam) charity quota. Back then I was not aware of anything, neither my poor parents are. They asked college admission and hostel admission will cost 4 Lakhs. They mailed me all the fake admission letters and documents of the college. Being village kid and from uneducated parents, we believed and transferred the full amount to these scambags. My parents are poor, barely has 10k in account had to sell lots of land to collect those money.

Then after a week, we are ready to reach the college for admission, I along with the cousin bro came to one of the college they sent us to. When we reached the college, i tried to call the number, but it's being permanently switched off. Then we went to admission cell and enquired, learning that all those papers were fake and there exist no such quote(charity quota for poor).

By then I was crying like hell, knowing what will my parents feel about it after selling the property for all these. More so, I'd have been okay if only lost money but i also lost one year of my career.

Next day, we went to police station to file FIR but they don't take cases just because we don't belong to that place. We are helpless by then. Next we went to ICICI bank to know the address of the receiver. Bank insisted we need to show FIR copy to get customer address details. But we clearly said to officials that we come from different state and police is not filing FIR. After narrating all the story one of the employee told us to wait, promising us to give the address by talking to manager. We got the address details of that scumbag, having two residential address one in jharia, another jamtara (nearby to each other), and his bank account in Asansol (west bengal 1 hour drive to Jharkhand bordering there). We went to that to their residential address but none of them exist, they are all fake and no such person exist there. They opened bank account with fake documents. That's it!

Travelling back to home was one of the longest journey in my life. Felt like I have been travelling to destination for 100 years. Since then my career affected everything, I am still not able to get out of that mesh and end up doing nothing substantial in life. Not just this story, it happened lot lot more than what I wrote here. But that's left for another day.

I want to burn down that entire region who are destroying the lives of millions. I never fail to understand why banks and institutions are spending billions to secure their banking fraud. Spend few crores and try help to nab and execute those scumbags there. These people are now spreading in entire country and teaching to other people in another region.
