This is for your awareness, Cybercrime is not capable of anything.

My father ordered a product from Meesho worth 350 Rs

He requested for a return, Got a callback from someone from Meesho asking to share otp to initiaite refund

80,000 debited upon sharing otp, She mentioned its a mistake and assuring reversal asked otp again

100000 debited this time. She asked for opt again but my father disconnected and immediately reported to bank and cyber branch.

A month has passed now, Cybercrime branch is a myth and not capable of anything. 

Digital india is not for elderly people, scammers can trick them anyway.

What concerns me more is how MEESHO.com shared the contact info with scammers.

Thanks Modi Ji for Digital India !!

Do not blame anyone for your lack of awareness. Banks/rbi regularly share message via message/email/ads not to share otp with anyone but yet people fall for it so it is your fault not of any person/technology.

Had written a long post but later it got refreshed and vanished. All thanks to Modiji.
Even after getting hundreds of spams from trai, govt, & banks not to share OTP even to banks, this comes.
Basic rules of shopping online for op-
1) use different mobile number, email

2) don't keep large amount in Bank account which is used in shopping.
3) international transactions off
4) never share OTP or attend calls asking for OTP. pensive pensive

Which app allows money transfer with OTP? Does the scammer has access to debit card or what?

I4C portal only request bank to freeze all the accounts without checking the transaction details whether the fraudulent amount is credited to the account or not and bank will not share any details instead of ack no and email of that thana then the person whose account is freezed he has to suffer till that unprofessional investigation is going on even the person who did this fraud they haven't tracked him even after many months
