The other two accused have been identified as Arshad (39), a fish trader from Shankarpura in Chikkamagaluru, and Ananth T (34), a marketing professional from Hosamane in Shivamogga.
Police said 15 bank accounts used for illegal fund transfers have been frozen.
More than Rs 14.71 crore was routed through these accounts linked to over 352 fraud complaints registered nationwide.
The total cheating amount stood at Rs 82 crore, police said.
Two mobile phones, 11 ATM cards, nine QR code scanners and 15 Airtel SIM cards have been seized from the accused.
