The man received messages on his phone, purportedly from his bank, stating that money had been credited to his account.
The next time you get a message from your bank stating that money has been credited to your account, it may be wise to check the bank's app or your account statement and see whether the amount is actually there.
A Delhi jeweller learnt this lesson the hard way after he sent gold chains worth nearly Rs 3 lakh to a scamster after receiving messages on his phone, purportedly from his bank, that the money had been credited to his account.
Jeweller Naval Kishore Khandelwal runs a five-decade-old shop at at Chandni Chowk's Kucha Mahajani - Delhi's biggest gold and silver market. Last week, Mr Khandelwal was on a visit to Ayodhya when a person contacted his shop over the phone and struck a deal for a 15-gm gold chain with his sons.
