A woman from south Mumbai who had applied for a credit card from a small finance bank lost Rs 1.76 lakh to cyber fraud. The caller had identified herself as a representative of the small finance bank, obtained information about the victim’s other credit card and then used it to rob the woman of Rs 1.76 lakh. A case has been registered with the D B Marg Police.
According to the FIR filed by the 46-year-old woman on August 16, she received a call from an unknown number. The woman on the call identified herself as Priti and claimed to be from AU Bank. The victim told the police that she believed the call was legitimate since she had recently applied for a credit card from the same bank and was expecting the card to be delivered within 7-8 days. The unidentified caller informed the victim that her credit card application had been rejected by the bank. The victim further trusted the caller because the woman shared details about her credit card and CIBIL score and explained that the rejection was due to the address provided by the victim.
