I have changed the actual URL so that no one would even by mistake click these URL’s and fall prey to something else.
These are the snapshots of the pages these URL’s open.
Both the sender ID’s seem to be DOT approved SMS ID and these were used for fraud. How were these SMS ID’s approved what was the reason given
Information about the Bulk SMS ID
I ignored the 1st Message which I received in the morning. I then got a second one which shocked me as it showed Kotak. At night I again got a 3rd SMS again for RBL. This guys have been sending SMS all over the day and Nobody seemed to bother to complain about them or do something about it.
The main culprits to these frauds are Senior Citizens and People who can’t make different between right or wrong.
Users hardly have awareness about internet frauds and these thugs run away with someone’s hard earned money.
I think India needs a dedicated online Cyber cell to post these issues online with a quick response team.
I had faced fake calls from PAYTM and PhonePe but when I registered a complaint of cyber cell they transferred the call to local police station and the local police station requested me to close the complaint since nothing much they can do about this as the called does not fall under their jurisdictions. I had given them all information about
- what time I received these calls.
- From which Number did I receive them
- Which state / city do these number belong to.
- I was even ready to share the voice recordings which I had kept securely but after then demotivating event I deleted all of those recordings.
It’s time India needs a better cyber security cell which is equipped with latest technology and has jurisdiction all over India.
Please do not even open these messages.
