One fraudulent bank withdrawal each day in Chandigarh

CHANDIGARH: Despite an impressive educational credit score, Chandigarh reportedly sees at least one fraudulent cash withdrawal from bank accounts a day. In 2017, 297 residents have lost their hard-earned money to frauds, until now. Cyber experts see a direct correlation between the increase in number of cases over the course of this year to the increase in cashless transactions post demonetisation. Rashmi Yadav, DSP Cyber cell, said, “There has been a steady increase in the cases to the fraudulent withdrawal on month on month basis. People are still not aware what to share and what not is one of the prime reasons for most of the cyber frauds.” She added, “No bank asks for your account details so one should not share any personal information on the phone.”
