Mumbai, Dec 10: Former India cricketer Vinod Kambli recently became a victim of cyber crime. A fraudster siphoned off over Rs 1 lakh from him by posing as bank officials, informed police.
On December 3, Kambli received a call from the bank’s “executive” who told him to download a quick support app to update his KYC details and carried out fraudulent transactions last week by getting a remote access to his phone.
“On receiving alerts on the phone, I immediately called my bank’s customer care number and blocked the account. I then approached the police. I am thankful to the police for helping me get my money back,” Kambli said.
The Bandra police has registered a complaint against an unknown persons and the money has been reversed to Kambli’s account.
The police is currently engaged in extracting the details of the account holder to whose account the money was transferred. Further investigation is underway.
