A 32-year-old man who works for former Indian cricket captain Sachin Tendulkar allegedly lost Rs. 18200 to a cyber fraud where the scammer called him pretending to be some bank executive and tricked him into transferring the money.
According to reports, the scammer called him posing as a Kotak Mahindra bank executive and said he would arrange a Rs 1.50 lakh loan for only Rs. 10K. The security guard was in need of money at that time and he agreed to take a loan. The scammer asked for his details including his AADHAR card, PAN card, debit card, and credit card numbers. The security guard complained that after sharing the OTP the scammers made a debit of Rs. 18,200 from his account. Then again the scammers called him the next day asking him to transfer Rs.10K to initiate the process of the loan.
The security guard then registered an FIR on the complaint of scamming by the Bandra Police Station on July 14. The complaint included sharing of OTP and debit of Rs. 18,200 to the scammer.
