New Delhi: A 40-year-old woman residing in the Mayur Vihar area of Delhi has fallen victim to a cyber fraud scheme. Despite the woman having her credit card in her possession, cybercriminals managed to withdraw Rs 2,69,441 through 22 transactions without an OTP. The victim immediately filed a police complaint and blocked her card.
The Cyber Police of East Delhi has registered a case of fraud based on the woman's statement. The police are gathering information on the location of every transaction to track down the culprits. Police stated that such incidents typically involve fraud through credit card data theft, phishing, or mobile applications.
Causes of Cyber Fraud
Experts advise users to pay special attention to the security of their credit and debit cards in such cases. Card information should not be shared with anyone, and the secrecy of OTPs sent by the bank must be maintained. The cyber police have also appealed to the general public not to click on any suspicious links and not to share bank details in any unknown calls or messages.
