When he denied, the bank recommended blocking his card immediately since someone was trying to do a certain transaction from his bank. The lawyer informed the cyber cell about the illegal transaction attempt.
A Kokar resident got a call and was told that he won Rs 25 lakhs as and the caller then further asked if he wanted to encash it. Sandip Kalia, a former bank employee said that one should never pay attention to such messages because the bank usually calls the customer to carry out a transaction like these.
