OLD GOA
A Chimbel man was duped of Rs 1.2 lakh under the pretext of updating KYC details of his bank account by a person pretending to be the bank’s employee.
According to the information available, the Old Goa police informed that the Chimbel man complained that he received a call from a person calling himself Sandip Sharma, who claimed to be Axis Bank’s employee, asking him to provide details for updating the KYC details.
“The Chimbel man then provided the details asked for and also gave the OTP,” the police informed while adding that later the money got deducted from his account in multiple transactions.
Though the police have registered a case against Sandip Sharma, the police informed that it could be a fake name provided. Old Goa PI Yogesh Sawant is investigating the matter.
