Got at least 10 calls from this number - 98494 87079 saying that I requested a number change on my simpl account and it was an automated call, and they were trying to impersonate that they are from simpl. The call said that "you requested a number change, if you want the number to change please disconnect the call, if you did not do the request please share the 4 digit otp, when I chose the latter, I pressed 1, I got the 4 digit otp" and from history we have always learnt not to share the otp. so I disconnected the call, it was very smart of them. but they kept pestering me every 2 mins with the same thing

This is why I don't use new apps and upi even with all the lucrative cashbacks back them.

I would rather use my debit card, netbanking and good ol' cash on delivery.

Best thing is never to load money or connect ur Debit card or UPI (if any) to such private NBFCs n Payment banks. Simple have SBI, ICICI, HDFC for SB /CA n link ur Paytm/Amazon pay/gpay/phonepe for payments. use credit card in most places for charge back in case of fraud. Never keep more than 5-10k in any open hackable sources (UPI linked a/cs)

I told simpl customer care to decrease my credit limit instead of permanently deleting my account so that if anything like this happens in future it won't affect much.

Kg+ to you for this post @Deals_Cracker .. And i hope they will refund your money soon

Lol.

"Do not share OTP to anyone."

The government shares this awareness message every week by SMS, email, advertisement etc still people do share their OTP.

I don't know what to say to these IDIOT people.

At least sim swap fraud is not possible now(unless user is completely hopeless in which case they shouldn't use any online bank acc/service & use post office offline acc & cheques only) because there is a 24 hours block on sms service on any newly activated duplicate/replacement sim.

@admin and to everyone here.. Can we help in recovering and making aware of Simpl fraud txns using hashtags on twitter ( common hashtags so that everyone can use it & share it with followers) & forcing simpl to bring otp and close their server till then . it will be a collective effort of everyone. I genuinely want to help digitally.  

Please note:- I am not a simpl subscriber 

Benevolent Benevolent

Just creating hashtags won't make any significant difference. It is more important to display list of fraudsters mobile numbers from which IVR calls have been received, LPG dealer name address and contact number on whom most fraudulent payments have gone, List of customer account numbers of beneficiaries of bill payments etc.

If you cannot do above then RIP

everyone here on desidime please come forward and help digitally making aware of these type of frauds via various mediums. I'm on twitter I can help there using common hastags so that everyone can hit that & aware about these type of frauds & force simpl to bring otp on txn back or device binding to 1 device only ( if required you need to send IMEI no. to simpl using mail for another device for binding). It will take just couple of mins for everyone to share

PS note:- I am not a Simpl subscriber I just want to help our fellow members.

I am just asking everyone to cooperate because there are many dimers who have large followers on social media they can spread this info. I'm not asking for any benefit for myself.

Benevolent Benevolent

There's no shortage of awareness of such frauds in Social media and everyday new frauds are taking place. There are several services like Simpl who for faster payments and convenience allow quick payments without OTP from the app from wallet balance or paylater accounts. People need to decide what level of risk they're willing to take. 

It is more important to track down the professional fraudsters who everytime emerge with a new idea/technique to extract OTPs from people.

We need to collectively target the fraudsters if we have their mobile numbers and identity.

Just happened with me. I received a call from 95137 09049.

This seems to be a verified account on WhatsApp. I have received WhatsApp messages from this number 4-5 months back detailing Simpl offers and cashback.

How is this possible? How is it verified with a green tick on WhatsApp?

Just used SMS bomber to send bulk SMS OTPs to IVR calling numbers:

https://mytoolstown.com/sms...er

Request others to do the same but for mobile numbers displayed in fraudulent bills and recharges. IVR numbers appear to be spoofed, calls were actually computer generated and not from any mobile number

I now realize that Simpl IVR the fraud is at a much advanced high-tech level. The fraudsters seems to have spoofed the caller IDs of the IVR calls made by them by randomly selecting unknown mobile numbers or numbers of customer care of reputed companies.

I received IVR call from 7977912345 which on googling turns out to be official customer care of Reliance Digital. Some one reported another IVR Caller ID as 9686645189 which on googling is the customer care of Simple Energy Electric Vehicles selling company.
