Identity theft and after
The first call was from a long-lost friend who had not been in touch for years. The next call came from a relative in the U.S. who could make out that it was fake since it came from an account which I never use. But when a good Samaritan informed me that the hackers had not only created a fake email id in my name but had also created a savings bank account to credit the ill-gotten money, it was a matter of deep concern. Since the IFSC details were available in the fake mails, I next reported the fraudulent nature of the account to the branch located in a remote town. The branch manager promptly conveyed that the said account had been partially frozen based on a police investigation.
