A 55-year-old private firm employee from Mathikere was looking for the customer care number of Railways to cancel his tickets recently. He called a number he found online and a person, who identified himself as Ravi Kumar, a railway employee, offered to help.
Promising to cancel the tickets and refund the amount, Ravi Kumar sought the details of the man’s credit card and asked him to wait for a few minutes. While waiting for the refund, the victim received a transaction alert of debit of ₹1.62 lakh.
Shocked, the victim tried to reach the number again, but was unable to. He filed a complaint with the North Division cyber crime police, who have registered a case and are trying to track down the accused based on the transaction details.
