Explain how ur friend lost money exactly and share numbers calls received from
He wanted to courier Rakhi so he searched “Courier services near me” in Justdial.
He got the listings
He choosed one & dialed.
The number was “6289849392”.
The number was answered by a person told my friend that "Due to lock down we have digitalized the booking process, will send u a link for registration payment and u need to pay the registration amount only after this will arrange the booking.
So he followed & was asked to give the OTP over call. By the time he hanged up call he lost about 24K.
When he ranged me for help, I asked him to send me the link and I found the link was for “Filling debit card detail Google form.”
Now the Bank says “Since u gave the data,it’s your fault”. My friend says " yes it’s my fault,but when I accept u must help me as well ! "
Cop als saying the same " it’s your fault".
He also reported to Justdial but so far no actionable response.
He stunned with this all & unable to come out of this misery !
Half info is useless
Must have been a typical fraud call → Sir, I am **** speaking from **** bank → your atm card will be blocked in 2-3 days → In order to activate it please follow → give out your card number, expiry, cvv → finally authenticate using the otp that you just revived.
However nowadays these scammers are evolving, and although the basic step to do fraud remains the same (card number,expiry,cvv,otp); they will rephrase the calls to be more pleasing like this one:
Yes, similar to this
My friend shared the OTP , the fraudster already had his Debit card detail.
how he had the debit card details 
Now the Bank says “Since u gave the data,it’s your fault”. My friend says " yes it’s my fault,but when I accept u must help me as well ! "
Bank is right. How exactly is your friend expecting help here?
The person on call sent him the link which was actually Debit card filling Google form. So the fraudster needed only OTP. The transaction was done on Flipkart. When I contacted the Flipkart they refused to reavel the order details/cancel the order
You can get it revealed with a court order
cyber crimes are increasing 
last week, received call from 9832840916.
caller said that he is from phonepe customer care and there is some issue with my acc.
he already had my personal details don’t know how.
he said I will get payment request on my mobile and I need to enter my pin to resolve issue.
I immediately disconnected call and blocked that number 
Same happened with me 
I Hanged up the call & reported to Phone pe customer care
Unless we provide some details no one can take our money so be careful
There is a reason why the banks constantly asked you not to share OTP to them for the most of the time.
Seriously though people need to grow a brain it seems. Why on earth do these people just share everything over a bloody phone call i wonder! Why they don’t have even this much bloody common sense! I was even able to teach this to my mum, who is like an extra ordinary dumb person for tech stuffs!
I have not received any fraud calls recently, other than the one few months ago on the exact same day when a nearby bank was looted by some amateur dacoits. Problem is, i want to receive some, i trolled the last guy by saying a fake debit card number and cvv code and otp too lmfao, he didn’t realise at first, said wait let me check your credentials then simply hung up. I called back many times afterwards, keeps saying out of service.
The main thing is, scams/frauds have one basic instinct that renders people helpless – “Panic”;
Any good scammer will always first create panic mode on you, and in panic most people will give out the info not realizing that they are getting scammed. If I were to target you dedicatedly , then even though you maybe good at resisting the scams, you will fall for it during a panic mode; however normal scammers are targetting 300+ people in a day so they use the common phrases, so most people with basic knowledge will be safe, only some 5% might get tempted out and that’s enough for them.
I don’t know why people want to easily loot others and make free money instead of earning it. Due to this pandemic they are actually left out with nothing but earn some free hard cash. Never share any details through any unauthorized link because unless and until you give them a loophole they can’t do anything with your account. He should opted for amazon for sending rakhi to his sis from some prime account 
whenever you receive such calls Just disconnect saying wrong number.
In one of my friend case the debit card was used on Flipkart by some known person which he came to know when he updated the passbook. I raised the request and they had cancel the product which was not delivered. Tweet them on twitter they might help if the representative empathise with you.
Raise dispute with bank.
If that user had a payment gateway he must have registed his business.
The transaction was done on Flipkart, I wrote an email to Flipkart in reply they said “Unable to trace the Order with given transaction ID”
Which bank?
The cybercell and police does nothing They only say its your fault Few months ago recently my family lost 70k as they told otp over call.Nothing can be done.
If the transaction was done on Flipkart tell them your card has been misused. Tell them the card number and they will check in their system. Also tell them you are going to file a cyber complaint regarding the same. They asked for bank statement where the transaction was shown and after that they asked for card number first 6 digit and last 4. The executive were really helpful and they cancelled the remaining product.
They told that they are not able to track the Order with the Transaction number even after I gave them the Debit Card & Bank statement details
I don’t get it, the victim googled local courier services to courier Rakhi and provided the Debit Card details in a form and OTP as well. Where is Flipkart involved in all of this ?
Also, in Debit Card transactions it’s very difficult to recover money, in this case, there is a near zero chance that the victim will get the money, becomes the Victim is responsible for it. The freakin OTP message itself tells you not to share the details, if you do it after that and expect the “Bank to help” not gonna happen.
With Debit Card fraud (for actual fraudulent transactions, not when people DAF share their details) the bank does not lose money, so there is no incentive for the Bank to fight for the transaction.With Credit Card, the actual credit is money from the bank, so they will be more aggressive and quick to resolve the issue.
Yes you rightly pointed out.
FYI – The transaction was made on Flipkart was by the Fraudster using my friend OTP.
In nutshell- It’s purely a stupidity stunt by my friend ! But the Agony is there is no one to help even after she accepted her mistake !
It’s unfortunate brother, but no one is going to “Help” in this scenario, the bank does not want to bear the burden, (since it’s not a Credit Card) so they will keep dragging it and eventually you will let it go.. That’s how this will end.
Yeah, very unfortunate.. I think it’s a crime to be innocent in 2020 !
Get the statement of account from bank, and file complaint in cyber crime department by visiting
not in police station
I know a person who lost 32k by OTP fraud and got 26k back with help of cyber police in a month @9rkonar
Really this is the next level fraud
How did your friend lost 24k?
