In One Of The Biggest Fraud in Delhi, Man Loses ₹50 Lakh. No OTP Asked, Just Missed Calls
DELHI
Jamtara—the tribal district of Jharkhand where the social reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar worked for 18 years to educate the tribal girls, is now earning a new name for being a notorious hub of cybercrime.
This time, a group has allegedly managed to dupe the director of a security services firm of Rs 50 lakh via a fraudulent transfer from his bank account. If reports are to be believed, the cybercrooks made the transaction without asking for a one-time password (OTP). They fraudulently withdrew Rs 50 lakh by repeatedly giving him missed calls on his mobile phone.
Preliminary investigations suggested that the masterminds of this fraud might be based in the Jamtara area of Jharkhand. Reports suggest that the recipients could be just the account holders who may have given their accounts on rent to the crooks.
