Udupi, Mar 5: Scammers managed to steal Rs 1,00,000 from Sudhakar Anchan's HDFC bank account at the Kundapur branch on Sunday, March 5.
Anchan received a text message from an unknown person asking him to update his PAN card details. The scammer claimed that the message contained a link from the bank to update the PAN card. After Anchan updated his PAN card details, the scammer, pretending to be a bank official, transferred Rs 1,00,000 online from Anchan's bank account. Anchan has since filed a complaint at the CEN police station under sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the Information Technology Act.
