Cybercriminals posing as bank employees defrauded a 35-year-old lady of Rs 1.7 lakh. When they contacted her, they informed her that her “Know Your Customer” (KYC) information needed to be updated. The con artists instructed her to input her bank account and credit card information after sending her a link over WhatsApp.
The lady complied with their directions and input her card details while she was still on the phone. Her bank began sending her debit notifications shortly after. She queried the scammer about it as soon as she realized anything was amiss, but the conversation was cut off. In order to freeze her accounts, she promptly phoned her bank.
Regretfully, she subsequently discovered that Rs 1.7 lakh had been taken out of a second account when she got another debit notification. The Hyderabad Cybercrime Police have opened an inquiry after the lady informed them about the fraud.
