Man gives PIN to ‘bank staffer’, Rs 50,000 siphoned off

MUMBAI: Within days of opening a new account with a private bank at a branch in Vasai, a 30-year-old man was conned into giving away his bank details and personal identification number (PIN) to a caller, who siphoned off Rs 50,000 from his account. The money was withdrawn from an ATM in New Delhi.

Fardeen Sayed (30), a resident of Vasai Koliwada, opened an account with Axis Bank at its Vasai branch on May 4 and he deposited Rs 50,000 that day. Two days later, Sayed reportedly received a call and the person identified himself as Amit Mishra, an employee of the same bank. Mishra spoke to Sayed with such conviction that he gained his confidence and asked for his bank account details, including PIN, apparently for some bank work; Sayed, convinced by Mishra's glib explanations, parted with the details.

On May 7, when Sayed visited the bank, he learnt that Rs 50,000 had been withdrawn from his account on May 6. On asking around about Mishra, the bank told him that they did not have any employee by that name. The officials also told him that they have been educating customers against giving away any bank information, especially PINs, to anyone, even if they pose as bank employees either on the phone or in person.

Sayed lodged a complaint with the police. An investigation revealed that the call was made to Sayed from Raipur and the cash was withdrawn from an ATM in New Delhi. The police pointed out that considering that Sayed himself had given away the details to the conman, the bank could not be held responsible for the money being siphoned off. But they are investigating how the fact that Sayed had just become a new account holder in the bank and his cellphone number were leaked. The police are also looking at other people who may have recently opened a new bank account there.
