Former MLA JR Lobo duped by unknown caller
Fraudster loots Rs. 49,000 from bank
Mangaluru: Former MLA JR Lobo lost Rs. 49,000 from his bank account after he trusted an unknown caller recently. A case in this regard has been registered at Kadri police station. The Kadri police have transferred the case to Cyber Police for further investigation.
The caller, who claimed that he was calling from a State Bank of India branch, informed Lobo that his ATM card is getting expired and needs to be updated. The former MLA trusted him and shared his ATM number and OTP on demand. Soon after Lobo shared the OTP, he received a message which read Rs. 49,000 debited from his account.
The former MLA, who realized of being duped by an unknown caller, immediately called bank officials and requested to block his ATM card. Later on, JR Lobo complained with Kadri Police.
