Fraud calls on Bank’s Name trying to know the personal details and Transactions OTP Complaints & Reviews
By: RoopeshTalikoti
Respected Sir,
I received and answered a call from a person claiming to be working in Syndicate Bank’s Regional Office whose mobile number is 9278401796.
The call was regarding Distribution of a chip based titanium debit card with loyalty points of some ₹4000 added it. The caller (Rajeev Mehta) tried a lot convincing me in English to share my 16 digit card number along with Debit card’s Expiry details.
He said that in few seconds I would be receiving an alert message from my bank with some code which I should share with him in order to get a chip based titanium card with loyalty bonus points.
I shared my 16 digit card number and expiry details assuming the caller to be a genuine Syndicate bank staff but I doubted him only when I received an SMS from the bank which had a transaction OTP detail in it.
Then, I warned this fraud caller about sharing this incident with the police. He didn’t even fear to cut the call and kept on insisting that the call is genuine and is being recorded by syndicate bank.
Please register my complaint against this fraud caller who must have theft the details of many poor people.
I have the call recording details of this incident. If need be, I shall produce the same to you.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely, Roopesh Talikoti
