Mangaluru: In a major cyber fraud, an individual allegedly lost about Rs 44,500 after updating the KYC details of the bank account to prevent the account from being blocked, as claimed by an anonymous caller
An unidentified person contacted the complainant at 11:30 am on Wednesday, stating that the bank account had been blocked. The caller then told the complainant to update the KYC details in order to unblock the account. Falling for it, the complainant provided the customer ID, ATM card details, and account information to the caller.
Subsequently, the complainant also shared the One-Time Password (OTP) he/she received, unknowingly granting access to the account. Within a short period, Rs 44,500 was withdrawn from the victim's bank account, prompting the complainant to report the incident as an unauthorized transfer.
A case has been registered at the CEN Police Station and investigation is underway.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
