 Banking related Cyber Fraud:

Recently one lady from Quilon lost Rs. 8,16,000/- from her Bank Account.

How it happened:

1.  This lady had linked mobile number to her Bank account

2.  She later did not use that number for 4 years. But did not inform Bank to delete it from her KYC.

3. Service provider Vodafone deactivated the SIM and allotted the number to a person who committed this crime.  As per policy, Service provider can reallott the number if it is not used for 6 months.

4. Bank routine SMS went to the subscriber fraud.  He got into the Site thru one of the Links, gave ‘ forget ‘ password’ option.  Verification code went to the number in his possession , formalities completed and merrily withdrew money thru Internet Banking.  This was done by a Perumbavoor gang and one person has been arrested.

So, if a mobile number linked to Bank account is not in use, as per Banking Regulation one has to go to Bank and delink the number.

Please keep the above in mind and the fact that number can be reallotted after six months of non usage might be new information to many of us.
