The suspect sent a link for QPay, asked her to update her KYC details via the app
In a novel fraud, ₹2.4 lakh was stolen from a doctor’s account after she provided her KYC details, to keep her SIM active, through an app sent by the suspect. Not knowing that she was walking into a trap, Dr. Chandini Prabhakar, a dermatologist in Anna Nagar, called what she thought was the customer care number of the mobile phone operator. She was asked to download the ‘QPay’ app and transfer ₹10 for confirmation of her identity and continuation of SIM card services.More Related News
