Text of Complaint by Ujjwal Sharma:

Hi Team,
This is to highlight that the app that is no longer available on app store/play store.
Named : Ok Rupees.
Is using my personal data for black mailing me and extorting money.
Not only they sent me obscene photos, but also called my contacts and harassed them.
Now that I have paid the money and though I finally got rid of them.
I started receiving messages on whatsapp saying that I have not paid my loan.

Surprisingly, These numbers belong to Pakistan.
+923164340869
+923204684437
+923214180942
+923314296005
+923259605078
+923043330247
+923378003140
+923362853192

They all impersonate to be indian and use pseudo names.
Not only they are abusive but unhesitant in making explicit photos from your shared images during registration process or profile photos.

I am a man, am feeling so harssed.
I can not imagine if a girl/female does the same mistake of trusting this application. What all she would have gone through.

The application was available on both app store and play store.
Since there are strict policies in place i though that it is tested and safe to use.
But turns out this can be a cyber attack.
Since they are not from india and collecting out sensitive information(SPII and PII)
It will be no surprise that my aadhar card might get used in a place that i am not event aware of.

This matter needs immediate attention since this is not getting worse.
It will be really helpful if The Cyber Crime Team can take this matter in their hands and help all the victims.
