I just received a call from someone claiming he's from the bank I hold an account. Apparently, he knew the branch where it is located.
This was the conversation:
Fraud : Mam apka account close ho jaega, PAN(in his accent it was 'pain') activated nahi hai na.
Me: Theek hai, kardo, koi baat nahi.
Fraud: Mam, me apke he branch se baat kar raha hun, counter no. 2 (Me trying to stop my laugh 😂)
Me: Oh acha, theek hai.
Fraud: Mam, account block kar de raha hun, fir ye kabhi open nhi hoga.
Me: Arey, acha thik hai kardo, me branch aake PAN activate kar lungi.
Fraud: Nahi Mam, ye sirf online he hoga, kahin koi branch se nhi hoga. Aap abhi PAN bata do, me kardunga.
Me: Acha, koi baat nahi, block kar do.
Fraud: Lekin Mam, reason to bataiye block karne ke liye ( I am Still laughing at this statement 🤣)
Me: Arey reason to aapne he bataya, ki PAN activated nhi hai.
Fraud: Han to abhi karwa lijiye, me kar dunga. Aap PAN bataiye.
Me: Arey koi na, band kardo, baad me dekhenge
Fraud: Thik hai kardeta hun, saare funds "Government account" me transfer hojaenge.
ME: Han krdo.
Then he drops the call out of frustration.
