“Then I got a call from the bank informing me of another transaction and asking me to press 6 if I want to disallow the transaction and 1 if I want to go ahead with it. I immediately hit 6 and saved Rs 21,000 from being deducted,” he added.
“I approached Borivli police and registered a complaint. I also approached the cyber cell. When the officers checked the customer care number, it showed as belonging to Jammu Transport Company,” the complainant said.
The complainant added, “We must check thoroughly before dialling numbers found on Google search. It would be better to call on numbers given in official applications of
companies.”
