5 Points On How Delhi Man Lost Nearly 50 Lakh After Receiving Blank, Missed Calls

Cyber fraudsters stole nearly ₹ 50 lakh from a man running a security agency in Delhi by making several blank and missed calls on his mobile phone.

In a shocking incident, cyber fraudsters stole nearly ₹ 50 lakh from a man running a security agency in Delhi by making several blank and missed calls on his mobile phone.

Here’s how the unique case of forgery unfolded:

The man, identified as Shamsher Singh, received repeated blank and missed calls on his cell phone between 7pm and 8:44pm on November 13. While he ignored some of the calls, when he picked up the ring no one spoke from the other side.
However, after some time, Mr Singh started receiving several messages from his bank for the withdrawal of money. And in just a short time, he got the shock of his life as nearly half a crore had been withdrawn from his account through real-time gross settlement (RTGS), i.e., instant fund transfer.
Speaking to NDTV, Mr Singh said that the fraudsters were able to complete the transactions without ever needing the OTP (One Time Password) code, which is typically used as a security measure to verify the identity of the account holder.
Delhi Police has registered a case on Mr Singh’s complaint. IFSO (Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations) unit or Cyber Crime Unit, is probing the matter. Initial investigations suggest that the fraud’s planners might be based in Jharkhand’s Jamtara region.
Officials believe the thieves may have performed a “SIM swap.” They might have called in to start the RTGS transfer and activate the OTP. They might have heard the OTP mentioned in an adjacent call’s IVR (Interactive Voice Response)

Netflix, one of the most used OTT platforms, has recently been used to dupe an elderly man in Maharashtra. A resident of Mumbai recently lost Rs. 1.22 lakh in an incident of fraud while he was trying to renew his Netflix subscription. The incident was reported by the 73-year-old victim at Mumbai’s Juhu police station. As per the police records, the man received an email, which appeared to have been autogenerated by Netflix, reminding the user to renew streaming subscription for the monthly price of Rs. 499. This led him to click on the link that was attached in the mail.

The link required the unnamed victim to fill-in his credit card details to facilitate the transaction and renew his Netflix account which he provided immediately.

“A One Time Password (OTP) was generated on his mobile phone for payment of Rs 1.22 lakh. He entered the OTP without noticing the amount and soon after, the amount was debited from his account,” an Indian Express report quoted a police official familiar with the matter as saying.
