It was a Probable Bank Fraud

Tweet

It was about two weeks ago. A phone call came to me at about half past eleven. The caller told he was speaking from the State Bank of India and that my account was closed and my ATM service was suspended. He told that the account would be reopened and my ATM card could be made operational if I followed the steps he was proposing. I doubted at the authenticity of the caller but also was in two minds because my account is definitely suspended due to non-use. I had been thinking of making it operational again for some time. Here was an offer to make it so. The fellow went ahead with guiding me through the steps of reviving my account.From the voice I guessed he must have been of 20 to 24 years. However, as I was busy with school admission of orphan children I excused myself and cut off the conversation. I wanted to check if everything was well with my family account, where some money is there.I got to check yesterday that it is fine. Some banks have put up a warning notice about such fraudsters going round. Many customers have been robbed of their hard earned money by such scams. I was almost close to being a victim of such a scam. Have you ever come to such a situation?
