Akanksha Thakral has recently shared a worrying social media experience and warned his followers of the fraud with the phone. Her viral video on Instagram has so far received more than 5 million views.
A social media user who has recently become a mother revealed that she lost money and felt someone was watching her device, forcing her to restart her phone. What made matters worse was the answer she received from the police.
The cops cleaned it as a daily occurrence. They asked how an educated person like her could fall for such a trap.
In the video, the dowel artist says she received a call from Axis Bank she needed to make her Kyc. The caller was aware that he would not visit the bank.
Akanksha informs in the video that the caller also knew her details of the branch. Was asked to complete her Kyc online. She received a WhatsApp message with a link. When she went to the reference address, it seemed legitimate to the bank’s logo.
Once she entered her bank details, she lost £1,10 lakh. She also started receiving messages from UPI applications like Paytm and Phonepe, with which she didn’t even have an account.
She filed a police complaint and found that the number that accepted the call belonged to a 70 -year -old man in Bihar.
Disrupted by experience has published a video to disrupt others. Her key message was: “Never click on any link, spoofing msg is real.”
The reaction of social media
“Arey Didi, they are constantly warning a warning through the caller’s melody, yet you were still doing exactly what they warned,” one user wrote.
“How did you know that you didn’t go to the bank? Can anyone from the bank be involved ???” He wrote another.
One user was the unfortunate of the reaction she got to the social media.
“She is trying to help everyone else by sharing how Scammed was, and she just looks at the comments of most fools,” the user wrote.
One user continued and said, “Branches in computer crime are a joke in this country!”
“They shared a link via WhatsApp? This is the biggest red flag,” another said.
“Did you get your money back according to RBI instructions?” He asked one user. She replied, “No.”
What is SMS spoofing?
SMS spoofing, also called “smishing”, is when someone sends a fake text message that looks as if it comes from a trusted source. The attacker changes the name or number of the sender to make people believe that the message is real.
Spoofing SMS often leads to theft of personal data or money.
