A Mumbai woman was scammed out of ₹7 lakh while attempting to activate a credit card offered by a fraudster posing as a bank employee.
The fraudster claimed that the credit card could only be activated using an Android device and sent the woman a free smartphone to complete the activation process.
After using the phone to activate the card, the woman lost the money from her account, highlighting the importance of being cautious and verifying the legitimacy of any offers or requests for sensitive information.
