Kolkata: A Sarsuna resident, Pankaj Kumar, filed a complaint about unauthorised transactions amounting to Rs 8.8 lakh made using his two credit cards. Cops believe the credit card fraud was done by possibly using the SIM swap technique or fraudulent collection of personal data.
Kumar noticed the fraudulent transactions taking place earlier this month, within a span of 20 minutes. The accused allegedly conspired to make purchases on a popular online marketplace using Kumar's credit cards. The transactions were completed before Kumar could block his cards, despite receiving suspicious OTPs.
Kumar promptly informed both the banks and lodged a police complaint. The transactions were linked to an online marketplace account associated with a specific mobile number. Investigations revealed the name Kartik Sable and a mobile number. tnn
