AHMEDABAD: A 55-year-old man, who works as an assistant telephone technician in BSNL in Navrangpura and stays in Vadaj,
filed a complaint with city police stating that he was cheated by a
person who called him up and said that he cannot take two ATM cards
together or else his balance will become zero. Scared by this, he gave
his card details over the phone and lost 45,000 to the con-caller.
The complainant — Ramgopal Kori, who lives in Ambikanagar in Vadaj, stated in his complaint with Vadaj police that he got a call on April 30 from a person who asked him if he had two ATM cards. When Kori replied in affirmative, the person told him that the same person cannot take two ATM cards as it is illegal and asked him to give the numbers of his cards so that he can block one of the numbers. When Kori told him that he cannot give him his card number, the person threatened that his bank balance will be zero if he does not give him the card details.
Scared by the threat, Kori gave him the card details and after that he received OTP twice which he gave to the unknown caller who had withdrawn Rs 25,000 and Rs 20,000 from his bank account in two transactions.
The same caller had again called Kori on April 31 and asked for two OTP numbers which were received by Kori. This time, Kori denied and asked him to return his money. The caller also told Kori that he would return his Rs 45,000 but later went incommunicado. Kori tried to file his complaint of cheating with police, and it was finally taken as an FIR nearly seven months after he was cheated by the unknown caller.
