Fake calls – Modus Operandi
Example: Fraudster calling the victim as IT officer
- The fraudsters contact the victim pretending to be calling from the Income Tax Dept. for depositing tax refund in the victim’s account.
- They ask victim for bank account details and gather financial information related cards, expiry data, etc.,
- The fraudster then tells the victim to share OTP sent on mobile for depositing the amount.
- Once the victim shares the OTP the money is deducted from their account.
