That’s why only play the DM game on Twitter.
@Tejaskale
Prosenjit posted some more tweets with details on how it transpired (https://twitter.com/ProsaicView/status/14504965...).
6/n The moment I got a msg from ICICI Bank about a Rs 99000 transaction to an account in Ujjivan Small Finance Bank,
@ UjjivanBank. I promptly knew it was a fraud transaction and disconnected and called ICICI Bank fraud complaint number
7/n But even before they could block my card and bank account from further transactions, the scamsters had managed four more transactions — three to a merchant called Indagold for Rs 102000 each and one more to
@ UjjivanBank
Not just this case but I have read several fraud cases wherein everyone claims that money, that too 5 – 6 digit sums vanished in seconds without any intervention from the call receiver. The fastest mode of transfer according to me is UPI today but even that requires a PIN to be entered. How would a third-party app (even if malware) figure it all out in seconds and transfer money to different accounts? Then third-party apps have their own sub-limits for fund transfers – bank apps have one more layer of authentication, the login PIN. I am intrigued.
how is it possible
These guys are for real.I had posted a refund complaint on twitter few months ago and none of them replied.All of a.sudden after a month I got a call from goibibo regarding the refund confirmation.
He asked me to confirm my mode of payment for security purpose. Even then I thought he was genuine guy.
I asked him why and he said it’s required I told him it was a debit card and then he asked which one to which I said why do you guys need all that and scolded him in frustration.
Voila he reiterated the same ,it was at that moment it struck me that this was a scam call.
I read 2-3 news on daily basis in newspaper for Cyber Fraud in my city.
Police kuch karti nhi h
He installed spyware from whatsapp. It was pretty easy from scamster point of view.
It’s sad to read such posts, these illiterate scamsters are super intelligent, they know how to fool others.
Bitter truth – policy can’t trace or catch them, and even if they do, this crime is bailable with some penalties.
Somewhere I read this – for stealing lakhs of rupees, court ordered chor to pay some thousand fine and 6 months jail..
They couldn’t recover money coz he already spent it itseems 🤣
a lot info is missing in this guy’s thread.
chacha must be hiding some missteps that he took as a gullible customer. set limits if you are not knowledgeable enough, even better use only cheques.
Mixed bag! To date, forgeries by external people or fraud by bank staff or internal people still happen fairly often.
As recently as in the past 6-7 years, the turds in the banking system did ⇃this⇂… with our family member.
Paper cheque m̳a̳r̳k̳e̳d̳ w̳i̳t̳h̳ “̳p̳a̳y̳e̳e̳’̳s̳ a̳c̳c̳o̳u̳n̳t̳ o̳n̳l̳y̳”̳ i̳n̳s̳t̳r̳u̳c̳t̳i̳o̳n̳s̳ on the effin’ face of the cheque…
..was endorsed by the pigturd builder (real estate developer) to someone else.
Merely by signing on the rear of the cheque with final account holder’s name and account number.
Our family member had drawn the cheque on the (amongst the then top 3) private banks in Bharat.
And the builder, as usual, was circumventing having to declare the credit/income in their own books. So the construction company/ builder endorsed the cheque to Mr. XYZ.
Unashamedly and illegally for both.. the issuer bank (in which our family member had/has the account) and the (amongst the top two private) bank in which funds were credited.. nobody so much as blinked before crediting to an unauthorised party (the unknown to us, Mr. XYZ).
Cut to 5-6 years later (circa 2020-2021) and the (residential/ housing) society (formed later) is fighting a court case with the developers for various lapses and wrongdoings.
Luckily our family member is in the habit of keeping acknowledged photocopies of all issued paper cheques which are of critical nature or above a certain quantum.
Thusly, despite the bank statement/ passbook showing an entry for “Mr. XYZ”
The family member of our’s has acknowledgement from the builder/ developer and perhaps even from the bank.. that the “crossed cheque” was issued to “pigturd real estate developers” itself.
Never in my life have I myself crossed a check as “Account payee only”. I always cross it as “Payee’s account only”.
And I learnt of the major difference, legal implications between the two.. from the same family member… while I was still in high school.
So it is highly unlikely for that family member to not have done the same in their life.
Over time, it becomes ‘muscle memory’.
Common tricks which fraudsters use: Send KYC links, use modified apps, many people install via links and are too lazy to install via play store. Search for customer care on google and use that directly instead of verifying on site, many times these are old numbers which are recycled by the phone operators, leave their mobile numbers/email ids on twitter/facebook which can be read by anyone, use same passwords everywhere including bank, saving bank/card details in gallery/contact/emails/sms, the list goes on and on..
Also there was a huge list of apps on play store which ask for sms/phone permission even if they have no business of doing so and people blindly give it.
Some apps come to mind, like the one mentioned above: Screen sharing apps, FREE LIVE TV apps, Modded apps for Extra features, FREE Paid apps, Lottery Winning apps/links..
Will setting per day usage limits on debit card prevent such frauds?
Yes, disable the limits or make it zero for all types of tnx.

Yes, such handles have been active for the past few years. Even if you report them to Twitter, Twitter takes their own sweet time to block them. I had ended up receiving a UPI collect request for ₹10,000 from a handle pretending to be “Paytm Care”. My mistake back then was replying to the DMs which came from a fake handle for a public tweet of mine. But I could soon figure out a fraud attempt and continued to respond till I obtained the person’s name and UPI ID. However, it couldn’t be taken forward in any way except the handle getting blocked after some days.
