New way of evacuating bank account! The accounts will be emptied without OTP, know the way to avoid this new fraud
Online thugs always look for new ways to rob people. Now they have found a way that they can blow money out of bank accounts without asking OTP. Some such incidents have come to light in the last few days. The National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) issued a warning about this fraud and advised people to be vigilant. The scam without OTP, when paid online, must be certified by the OTP. Scammers often get these passwords from different tricks. But now he has devised a new way called Call Mercing Scam. With this they can rob people without asking OTP. Earlier, he used people through a missed call fraud. In the call that is put together, the fraudster calls someone and describes himself as a job interview or a representative of an event. He says your number was given by an ordinary friend or knowledge. He then asks the victim to merge the call, which really makes the person feel. But in reality is the second call from the bank or credit card business, where the OTP is spoken. Once the victim merges the call, it accidentally reaches the OTP scam and draws them money from the account or card. Typically, messages or calls are used to obtain OTP. Scammer chooses a call option so they can be easily cheated. If the victim merges the call, the OTP reaches the scam directly and immediately withdraws it from the account. How to stay safe? The easiest way to avoid cyber criminals is to be careful. Always ignore the calls and messages that come from unknown numbers. If you use Android smartphone, you can turn on spam uplifting features. Go to the call setting for this and enable the spam call filter. This will reduce the risk that calls come to a large extent of unknown numbers. Share this story -tags
