Bank fraud Awareness : Be careful about ATM card fraud , Debit card fraud , Credit card fraud

Awareness is necessity

" Be careful whenever you are sharing personal details on the Internet."

"Be careful whenever you are giving permission 'Allow' to applications during installation in your mobile."



As a Cyber volunteer, I have analyzed some case studies of these kinds of frauds.
Let me share one case study with you !!

One person was getting messages continuously in his mobile regarding OTP ( One Time Password). These OTPs automatically shared with someone else by any third-party application installed on his mobile. That someone else can be considered as cybercriminal in this case. And suddenly, money gets debited from his account, and after 7-8 transaction messages, his account statement was empty.

Here are some messages received by the victim.
  • The secret OTP for online purchase is 222343 on card ending XXXX. Valid till HH:MM:SS. Do not share OTP for security reason.
  • Rs. 9999 is Debited to A/c...XXXX on dd-mm-yy HH:MM:SS( Avlbl Bal Rs XXXXX) At POST TID-XXXXXXXXXX,ref-XXXXXXXXXXXX. TollFree XXXXXXXXXXX(24X7).
  • The secret OTP for online purchase is 110109 on card ending XXXX. Valid till HH:MM:SS. Do not share OTP for security reason.
  • Rs. 999 is Debited to A/c...XXXX on dd-mm-yy HH:MM:SS( Avlbl Bal Rs XXXXX) At POST TID-XXXXXXXXXX,ref-XXXXXXXXXXXX. TollFree XXXXXXXXXXX(24X7).

Now the question is, how this happens?


What kind of mistake is done by the victim?


There was one third party payment application in the victim's mobile, and during installation, he gave a text message read permission 'allow.'

We can get a refund within 24 hours in the past years, but cybercriminals became very active nowadays. They use smart ideas such as asking for the wallet to wallet transfer from the victim and then immediately transfer money in bank accounts. It is hard to reach them. Almost all cybercriminals use holidays to execute this kind of online fraud. Because during holidays, banks are closed, and sometimes we can not contact banks by helpline numbers. And your one mistake can spoil your holidays.


" There are several ways by which cybercriminals can reach you. In technical terms, its called 'Social Engineering.'
  1. By Text
  2. By Phone-Calls
  3. By E-mail

Whenever you receive such suspicious calls or messages or e-mails, don't trust these kinds of stuff.

What steps should be taken when bank fraud occur?

  1. Contact cyber cell nearest you or Local crime branch and register a complaint.
  2. The victim should go to the bank and fill up the dispute form within three days. It is very important.

Here I am sharing some useful and essential information.

  1. If any credit card related fraud occurs and you have insurance, there are 100% refund chances.
  2. If you have used net banking or any bank to bank transactions happen in which bank on both the side is same, then the transaction can be stopped by the authorities, and money can be refunded.
  3. In some cases, mistake is made by the bank. Sometime it happens that you are not sharing OTP; still, money is debited from your account; in this case, customers should go to the bank and fill up a dispute form within three days.
  4. When any debit card fraud occurs, there are minimal chances of refund money. So be careful before entering your debit card details on the internet.
  5. When a customer shares any OTP to any fraudster, it is not the bank's responsibility, so we can not blame bank.

How to Pass CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 in 2 Months (839 Score Breakdown + Resources)

How I Scored 839/900 on CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 — 2-Month Prep Strategy That Actually Worked Score: 839/900  |  Exam: CompTIA Security+ SY0-701  |  Prep Time: 2 Months  |  Total Questions: 76 (including 3 PBQs) I'm not going to sugarcoat it — CompTIA Security+ is not easy, but it is very passable with the right strategy. I cleared it with an 839 out of 900, and in this post I'll share exactly how I did it, domain by domain, so you can replicate the approach without wasting time. My 2-Month Study Plan Month 1 — Domain-by-domain study: Read, take notes, and build comparison tables and mnemonics for tricky concepts. Month 2 — Heavy practice testing: Full focus on practice tests and PBQ simulations. Time management drills every session. The biggest mistake people make is spending 90% of their time reading and only 10% practicing. I flipped that in month 2 — and it made all the difference. Domain 1 — General Security Concepts What to focu...

Email Security Deep Dive: 13 Steps to Keep Your Emails Safe

Email Security Checklist The Email Security Checklist 1. Enable SPF (Sender Policy Framework) What it is: SPF is like a guest list for your email domain. It tells the world that only specific servers are allowed to send email for your domain. How it works: Publish an SPF record in DNS. When someone receives an email claiming to be from your domain, their mail server checks if the sending IP is listed in the SPF record. If the IP is not listed, the email is rejected or marked as spam. Example SPF record: v=spf1 ip4:203.0.113.0/24 include:_spf.google.com -all Only servers in the specified IP range and Google’s mail servers can send emails for this domain. Others are rejected. Points to Note: Prevents attackers from spoofing your domain and sending phishing or spam emails. 2. Enable DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) What it is: DKIM is a digital signature for each email, ensuring that the message hasn’t been tampered with. Ho...

Awareness is necessity "Nohashtag challenges" Nowadays, #couplechallenge, #smilechallenge, #chirichchallenge trending on social media platforms. But do you know the history of hashtags? Lets see, how hashtag was invented. Chris Messina a product designer who has been working in Silicon Valley created the idea of hashtag. He and his small group of colleagues were thinking that twitter needs some kind of frame work. He got the idea of hashtag from internet chat room that had pound symbol in front of them. His main idea to create hashtag was for the internet and wanted that anybody writing text on internet be able to participate in global conversation. In 2007, he asked one of his friends to use #sandiego for his tweets and this way the use of hashtag started. In 2009, Twitter added the option of hashtag to its search bar. And this way hashtag became a trend. This trend then being followed by other apps like tumbler, Facebook, instag...
