UP man loses Rs 1.49 Lakh after dialling Airline Customer Care Number

A man in Lucknow was allegedly duped of Rs 1.49 lakhs in an online fraud when he dialled the customer care number to find out about a cancelled flight. This is the 10th such incident that occurred in the last three months, where the victim was duped after dialling a customer care number from the search engine.

 

In this case, victim Amit Gupta had to return to Lucknow from Mumbai by a flight on January 9 but the flight was cancelled later. Gupta called up the customer care to enquire about the same.

 

Later, he got a call from an unidentified mobile number. The caller asked Gupta to download Anydesk app on his mobile phone. He was then asked to respond to some details. In a short while, the money was deducted from his account. Gupta has lodged a complaint with the police and investigation is on.
