Mumbai: Mumbai Police on Monday (October 9) registered a case of cyber fraud after Bollywood actor Aftab Shivdasani was allegedly duped of Rs 1.49 lakh. The complaint was registered at Mumbai’s Bandra police station. As per ANI, Aftab became a victim of cyber fraud and lost the money after he received a text message in which he was asked to update his Know Your Customer (KYC) details linked to a leading private sector bank.
The 45-year-old actor mentioned in his police complaint that an alleged message came from the bank in which he was asked to update his PAN card. When he clicked the link of the message, a fake page of the bank opened. At that time, the cyber fraudster called Aftab from an unknown number and asked him to enter his mobile number and PIN. As soon as he entered the PIN, Rs 1,49,999 was deducted from Aftab’s account.
