Odisha: Businessman falls into prey of online fraud, loses Rs 95,000

Jajpur: A businessman reportedly lost Rs 95,000 after falling into the prey of online fraud in Odisha’s Jajpur district. The victim has been identified as Ayaskant Roy of Dubagadia village of the district.

According to Ayaskant, someone withdrew Rs 95,000 from his State Bank of India (SBI) account in eight phases between April 18 and May 4.

However, Ayaskant knew about it only recently following which he informed the officials of the Jaraka branch of the SBI and filed a police complaint at the Bhubaneswar-based Cyber Police Station.

Ayaskant said that the money has been withdrawn by using the debit card but shockingly he did not receive any message or OTP in this regard. What surprised him the most was that the debit card was with him but how the unknown person used it to withdraw cash from his account.
