search on Google. But hardly you know that this habit of yours can outweigh
you. Yes, something similar happened to a woman in Bangalore. You will also be
shocked to read what happened to this woman. In fact, fake customer care
numbers are present in large quantity on Google these days. When you call these
numbers that come after the search, the fraudsters trap you and loot everything
from your pocket.
This is how women from
Bangalore became victims
When you call on the number
of fake customer care coming on Google, the fraudsters take the information
related to your account. Recently, a woman in Bangalore called at Zomato's fake
call center to know whether her refund came or not, and the entire balance from
her account was emptied in seconds. This woman dialed by searching the number
of Zomato call center on Google. Here he requested for his refund and the
fraudster asked for information about his bank account. Shortly thereafter, the
balance in his account became empty.
Customer care number not
found on Zomato app
According to the news
published in the Economic Times, when the woman searched the customer care
number on the Zomato app, she could not find any number. After this, she
searched the number of the call center on Google, then she got the fake number.
Dialed this number to get her a refund. The fraudster who put the number on
Google made her a victim of fraud. A complaint related to fake call center has
been lodged with the police on behalf of food delivery app Zomato.
Many similar cases have also
come before this. In these cases also, by becoming a fake customer care worker,
the attacker asks the customers for their banking details and later makes them
a victim of fraud. A similar issue had also come up with the EPFO office. In
this case, the fraudulent changed the contact details of the EPFO office in
Mumbai on Google search. When people called on that number, the fraudulent
licked the callers by asking for their personal details from them.
