All An incident came to my notice when a blind girl was cheated bya fraudster by which she lost close to Lakh of rupees.
She received a call on her mobile alleging that he was calling from Reserve Bank and that her credit card got blocked.He got her to part with her CVV and date of expiry of her card and also the OTP. Within seconds thereafter there was a debit for that amount. I am sharing this incident to prevent anyone else falling prey to it. This is taken as a authorized transaction and there is no salvage except a hope the perpetrar is caught and the money recovered. While discussing this incident I was also told about an able bodied persons who was well aware about online frauds and who was a faculty in a public sector bank also got duped using social engineering tricks. Therefore please exercise extreme caution while talking to people by phone regarding any of your financial transaction. Also be on a guard of the apps you installing on your mobile.
