Cybercrime incidents are on the rise in the country and the fraudsters are not taking a back step to target even known people and bigshots. A former Indian cricketer became the target of cyber fraud. The incident came to the limelight when the victim moved the concerned Police Station and filed a complaint in this regard.
Going into details, Ex Indian player Vinod Kambli was targeted by cybercrime fraudsters. Posing himself as a bank official, the fraudster called Vinod Kambli and asked him to install an application on his mobile phone. By using the application that granted him access to Vinod Kambli's bank account, the fraudster transferred Rs 1.14 lakh to his account.
After realising that he was cheated by the fraudster, Vinod Kambli had moved the Bandra Police Station and filed a complaint. The Ex cricketer in his complaint had maintained that he believed in the fraudster as he posed himself as a bank official.
The fraudster asked Vinod Kombli to install the AnyDesk application saying that with the application, the Know Your Customer (KYC) documents can be updated. Believing that the person who called him is really a bank official, Vinod Kambli shared the access code. This made the accused's work easy in transferring the money.
To get the bank details of Vinod Kambli, the accused told the cricketer that to know if the KYC is updated or not, he asked him to make a payment. By entering the OTP, he transferred Rs 1.14 lakh to his account from Vinod Kambli's. He realised the mistake when he checked his bank balance.
Vinod Kambli did not make any time waste in approaching the authorities at the concerned bank and the Bandra Police Station on the cybercrime incident. The Cops registered a First information report(FIR) in connection with the complaint.
However, Vinod Kambli had managed to get the money back as reported by the leading English daily The Times of India(TOI). Speaking to the daily, he reportedly expressed his happiness on getting back his money and thanked the cybercrime branch for their support. He also called for a process to stop these crimes.
