"Don't worry, you will get your money back." This is what a cyber-fraudster told a 74-year-old Khar resident every time he asked for her OTP (one time password) and siphoned money from her bank account. The senior citizen was duped into giving her OTP 10 times, and ended up losing Rs 1.28 lakh.
The elderly victim was alone at home in Khar West when the incident took place on July 7. The conman called her, posing as a bank executive. He claimed that her ATM card was about to expire and he could help her renew it. The unsuspecting woman shared her 16-digit card number and other details, including the confidential OTP.
