According to a FIR registered in Police Station Domana by the ex BSF Officer, who was duped off Rs 92,000 from his two bank accounts of SBI and PNB yesterday through cyber crime, he stated that yesterday he received a call from mobile Number +917766010849 and the person gave his identification as SBI Manager of the Bank in which his account was lying informing that the Bank is going to change the ATM Pin numbers from today for all banks. He also gave him new pin for his SBI ATM Card and for PNB pension Card, the complainant added. But for the confirmation of the same he wanted to know his account numbers and old pin numbers also and this information was given to him on phone by the complaint.
The complaint in his application said that soon after he narrated his pin and account numbers to caller, he started receiving SMS on his mobile and within some minutes Rs 92,000 were withdrawn from his two bank accounts of SBI and PNB. From SBI Account Rs 47,000 were withdrawn while from his PNB Account Rs,45,010 were withdrawn.
This is not the first kind of such incident but earlier too some customers were duped off their money from bank accounts through cyber crime. The increasing incidents have generated a resentment among the bank customers who urged the Government to adopt a fool proof mechanism to avert the cyber crimes in future to save people from being duped off their hard earned money.
The Bank customers have also appealed the Police authorities to thoroughly investigate the matter and arrest the guilty.
