Diglipur, Sep 12: Once again the hackers targeted one of the account holders of State Bank Of India, Diglipur and fraudulently withdrawn Rs.29,000/-.
The amount was withdrawn on 9th Sep from the SBI Diglipur account of Samir Das bearing account No. 33674197619 a resident of Ganesh Nagar, Diglipur. He received a call from a mobile phone 08670236422 and the caller asked to furnish the ATM PIN number to verify the PIN to renew it as it was expired.
As the account holders was illiterate and lacks knowledge about hacking as well as cyber crime, he provided the caller the PIN no. At that point of time Rs.29060/- was there in his account and immediately the money was withdrawn in nine transactions and Rs. 60/- was left in his account.
After the money withdrawn the massage centre has shown as withdrawn from www.ccavenue.com and www.paytm.com. Lot of people have been complaining Andaman Sheekha that they are also receiving calls from in the name of Ccavenue.com which was originally a noted money transaction company.
Andaman Sheekha advices all the readers to stay alert and not to respond to such calls and to spread awareness about cyber crime in own level.
In November 2013 a team of Police Aberdeen CCS of A & N Police have arrested four persons from Jharkhand in the ATM Fraud cases.
However, no efforts were made to find out how these four accused had got the data base of SBI Account holders of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Andaman and Nicobar Police must send another team to mainland to track the people, who are actually sharing the account details of SBI customers of these Islands and helping these cyber criminal to target Islanders.
This morning a staff of Andaman Sheekha also got such call from cyber criminals who were demanding SBI ATM PIN numbers.
The question is why only SBI customers are targeted? There must be some insiders in SBI, who is leaking out details of customers.
