How not to get cheated like Punjab CM’s wife Preneet Kaur

Live Mint  

Member of Parliament and Punjab chief minister Amrinder Singh’s wife Preneet Kaur recently got tricked into revealing confidential details to a fraudster and losing ₹23 lakh, according to news reports. Soon after, the fraudster managed to get Kaur’s account number, ATM card details and one-time password. Things to keep in mind Remember that no bank will ever ask you to read out your card details for verification or renewal over a phone call. In case you’re making a booking through a phone call, say, for movie tickets, remember that you will be asked to punch in your card details on the phone keypad.
