SHOCKING! 64-Year-Old Marathi Actress Gets Cheated Of Rs 1.48 Lakh In Airtel KYC Cyber-Fraud-Report
A Marathi film actress has reportedly been cheated of Rs 1.48 lakh in Airtel KYC cyber fraud
In a shocking turn of events, a Marathi film actress from Vile Parle has reportedly fallen for Airtel KYC cyber-fraud and lost Rs. 1.48 lakh. In her complaint, a 64-year-old actress has revealed that she was cheated of Rs 1.48 lakh after she received a text message, sent by her telecom operator Airtel, asking her to update her personal details. She was tricked into revealing her ATM card details, which were then misused to withdraw the money.
According to the latest report in Indian Express, the actress got the fraud message on her husband's phone. The text which was allegedly sent from Airtel stated that the ‘Know Your Customer (KYC) details were not up to date on the number and added that the number would be blocked if the needful is not done.’
The report added that the actress on February 26 lodged FIR with the Vile Parle police station. Reportedly, the actress was duped after she called on the number and the fraudster who was impersonating an Airtel executive asked her to download and install the Quick Support application, which allowed a third party to access people’s mobile activities.
Without knowing his real intentions, the actress followed all his instructions, including entering her bank details. The fraudster got access to her ATM details due to the application he has asked her to install on her phone. Later, the woman got suspicious and immediately rushed to Airtel shop where she was shocked to find out that the company does not make any such calls to their customers. Shockingly, three Vodafone customers reportedly have lost over Rs. 5 lakh in the same type of fraud.
