Cyber fraud: A new case of cyber fraud has come up from Delhi. The case is related to online KYC verification process. Renu Vishwanath, who was a victim of this fraud, lost his savings of Rs 47 lakh in the blink of an eye. She has been a headmaster by profession and is still retired.
Avoid cyber fraud in this way
Talking about this, Alai Rizvi, managing partner of Accord Zuris, said, “No bank will ask its customer to get KYC through WhatsApp nor will any external APK file to download. Cyber criminals often take the excuse of Arjies and take the users in a trap and take out personal information from them. To get KYC, you can go to the bank’s website or app. Avoid clicking on any suspected link or downloading the app or sharing OTP. It is always necessary to verify source. To protect yourself from such fraud, one should maintain a two-way verification.
