The scammer portrayed the steps as a verification process. After the process, the victim was asked to share an OTP during which he lost Rs. 4.9 lakh - in four different transactions!
Now, this online scam is under investigation and a case has been registered under IPC section 420 (related to cheating) and 66 D of the IT Act.
