July 2015
I was participating in Launchpad programme at NSRCEL
(in IIMB Campus), to make IT (Information Technology) Startup Business venture
with NIRAM as a Founder.
One day, I got a (Mobile) Call from an anonymous
person (may be Cyber Crime Suspicious).
That Anonymous person said “Sir, Government is asking for KYC update for Bank Accounts immediately. … …
In which Bank, you have the Bank Account ?”.
[ I was alerted, due to his suspicious nature and
question. But, want to know about him. ]
I said “I am having Bank Account in RBI.”.
Anonymous person said “Oh. Can you tell me your Bank Account
Number.”.
[ Then, I discovered that Anonymous person as a Cyber
Criminal. ]
Later, I said “RBI is giving ATM Cards for Bank Account-holders.
Bank Account Number is encrypted as QR Code, on the ATM Card.
So, don’t know Bank Account Number.”.
Cyber Criminal said “Then, tell me your ATM
Card PIN.”.
I said “Is ATM Card PIN required… to do KYC
update ?”.
Cyber Criminal said “Yes, Sir. Please tell me your ATM Card PIN.” in
hurry.
Then, I said “Oh… … Now, I identified you perfectly… who… you are… and… what… you do.
I think that you know my Mobile Number… … right ?”.
Cyber Criminal said “Yes. I know.”.
Then, I said “First… you note down my Mobile Number.
By the time, you complete… it’s writing, …
Police will come and meet you.
He will tell you the remaining details…!”.
(Mobile) Call was disconnected.
Then, I felt safe. 🙂 😊
