Bank otp fraud
People are falling prey to an online banking scam and it is resulting in people losing lakhs of rupees. If you thought that OTPs are the safest mode of transactions, you are in for a shocker. There are fraudsters using OTP’s itself to carry out fraud transactions.

The link redirects to an app which is a malware planted by the fraudster. The user installs the app and the apps simply starts redirecting all SMS from the user’s phone to the fraudster’s inbox.
The fraudster can now easily carry out transaction by entering the card details which they already have and then get the OTP easily.
