Today I got a call from a person names who is looking for a house for rent in Pune and he told me that he is currently in Indian Army posted as lieutenant in Banglore and will be shifting to
Pune in 10 days . He told me that he do not want to see the house physically and he & his wife like the house pictures. He seems to be in very hurry to book the flat and transfer 1 month advance rent along with Deposit. He also told me that the amount will get transferred from Indian Army account and his account manager will talk to you and let you know the process.
He called me again and handed over the phone to his account manager. i asked his senior name (i do not remember the name) and then he told me that to transfer the rent and deposit amount, i will give you a Indian Army account which you need to add in your account as beneficiary and then send screenshot. once this is done we will transfer the rent and deposit to your account. He told that for Indian Army for security reasons, only reverse credit is possible. I told him that why should i transfer, you want the flat for rent and you should do the transfer. He told me that this is Indian Army process, when you add the account which i will give you then only you will be able to recieve the amount in you account. I lot Rs.12, 000 becoz he said adding beneficiary failed in Google Pay. Later he asked me to add another bank account in GPay and asked me to add my name as recipient and gave me some alpha-numeric code as Army Code and said that by adding that code in GPay, the amount will not be transferred from GPay to his account. And later when multiple transactions failed, he asked me to add details using internet banking n ICICI bank. Later, when searched his name linking to Indian Army, only then, i found out that I had been a victim of Cyber Crime today (18/8/2023). He called multiple times using 4 different numbers, I did not pick up the calls and i blocked him. Raised a complaint with cyber crime.
