Online Banking FRAUD: Ishqbaaaz Actress Mreenal Deshraj Falls Prey; Says, 'My Hard-Earned Money Is Gone'- EXCLUSIVE
Ishqbaaaz actress Mreenal Deshraj is in a dilemma as she has lost out on a lot of money in a case of bank fraud. The actress tells us exactly what happened
The growing use of Internet banking and online transactions have made people's lives easier but has resulted into more frauds. Television actress Mreenal Deshraj has lost an amount of 27000 due to a bank fraud. The unfortunate incident took place on February 25 and it happened via an online transaction.
Explaining the entire scenario, Mreenal while speaking to SpotboyE, said, "I was facing a problem in my Paytm and payments were not happening. Whenever I was doing any transaction, I used to receive a message to get my KYC done. Also, I used the app frequently, so I messaged Paytm support that nobody called me from their end for my KYC process and my amount of 2500 in wallet has been blocked due to which I am unable to use it.”
Mreenal continued, “Then in sometime, I received a call from their team asking me to update my KYC online and they sent me a link. I clicked on that link and immediately 758 rupees were deducted from my Paytm wallet. I called on the same number again and he said will be sending me another link, so I need to click on it to recover my lost money but again some amount was deducted and by end of the day, nearly 27000 rupees was stolen from my bank account.”
Furthermore, she went on by saying, “I have watched the show Jamtara and I’m always alert when any such calls happen, but here, I was messaging to the Paytm support post which I used to receive a call from their side immediately. Also, the number on Truecaller showed as Paytm so I believed it to be genuine.”
After this incident, we asked Mreenal as to did she take some immediate action? The actress replied, “I went to the bank and complained about it. They asked me to file an FIR at the nearest police station which I did in no time. Although, the bank and police initially told me that since it was my fault to click the links, I won’t be getting my money back. However, they have begun with the procedure. Let's see what happens. My whole purpose is to bring this incident to the notice of everyone out there, so that the people get more alert in such situations.. It was my hard-earned money that’s gone and I feel cheated.”
