Accused Arrested Involved In Credit Card Fraud
Hyderabad, Mar 29 (Maxim News): Cyber Crime Police apprehended one accused person A-1 Mudike Balraj M Gattu Malliah, Occ: Pvt Employee R/o Warangal, Telangana State who is involved in Credit Card fraud and also seized one cell phone.
The victim, a 78-year-old retired male from Hyderabad, received a text message through the CRED app stating that an amount of ₹1,11,589 was due on his credit card. As the victim had not used this amount, he immediately visited Axis Bank and inquired about the transactions. The bank officials informed him that they would send the bill details via email. However, there was no response from the Axis Bank officials.
After multiple visits and inquiries within the department, the desk officer for senior citizens advised the victim to make the payment. Accordingly, the victim paid the said amount through NEFT. A fresh credit card was issued in the victim’s name, but he never used the new card. Later, the victim received another message through the CRED App, requesting payment for the new credit card. He again visited the bank and informed them that he had never used the card. Upon further inquiry, the bank officials provided him with a statement, through which he discovered that his credit card had been misused by unknown persons through Paytm.
The accused specifically targets elderly victims by exploiting issues with their internet connection. Posing as a technical support representative, he convinces them that their connection requires urgent repairs or upgrades. Under this pretense, he persuades them to provide their credit card details, which he then uses for unauthorized transactions.
The team headed by Inspector of Police P Pramod Kumar, consisting of team members SI Azeez, PCs M Parsuram and Ashwin has cracked the case. (Maxim News)
