How to recover your money if your bank account is hacked or your card details are stolen
In this blog I will be focusing on the ways to strengthen the possibility of recovering your money in situations where your bank account is hacked or your credit card or debit card details have been stolen and misused. I will not be talking about how to prevent a bank account from getting hacked because we have discussed it at length in various posts. First of all let me tell you that the bitter truth is that most of the victims do not get their money back. But there is prevention and there are ways for a cure. So instead of crying over the spilled milk one needs to find ways to recover or salvage. After going through several case studies I thought of putting these steps together so that a victim knows what should be his/her immediate action when someone steals money from the bank account. In this post I will be referring to only those financial frauds that are done online. I will not be talking about frauds resulting because of physical loss of credit/debit card or ATM cash withdrawals.
If a bank account is hacked and the hacker/cybercriminal starts making online purchases using the stolen card information, bank account user name, password and/or PIN most of the victims expect the banks to repay. The banks however, refuse to help the victim on the grounds that the transaction was done with the actual card and the exact password and PIN was entered. So no matter how hard you try to convince them, it just amounts to a lot of frustration. One should understand the basics here, the bank is right at its place when it is refusing to pay. Since the money is already gone from the account to the merchant as legitimate credentials were given, if the bank agrees to refund it will have to bear the losses. Bank will always try to put the blame for card fraud on you. Usually they will redirect the victim to go to police for further help.
From my opinion police will also not be able to help you much in this case as often such financial frauds happen far away in a different country. It is quite difficult to track down the person or group that has scammed you without the help of law authorities in several different countries that transaction might have routed through. In most of the case studies of such financial fraud that I have seen, the victim often wastes lot of time in going to bank and police back and forth.
When your bank account gets hacked and money gets transferred online one should follow the steps given below to avoid further losses:
- Contact your bank and first block your bank credit/debit card.
- If the bank account is hacked immediately after you have done some online transaction from some PC, then first scan and clean your PC with latest anti-virus scanner. This is to get rid of any rootkit or key logger that may have been installed on the PC and which would have compromised your login details and sent it to the hacker.
- Reset your login password, pin, security questions answers.
- Verify your contact details like address, phone number are not changed by the hacker.
- Report the scam to right authority in the bank.
- Report a fraud to local police station.
What to do to recover lost money from hacked account:
In case of online transactions we have a fair chance of recovering/blocking the transaction if we act within 24 hours from the date and time of the fraudulent transaction. Most of the victims miss out on these important steps and hence are unable to recover any of the money they have lost. When a hacker/cybercriminal hacks the bank account and has access to user’s login name, password and PIN they start making online purchase and money transfers immediately. They try to get the maximum amount out before user blocks the credit/debit card or changes the bank login details. So what one should do along with the above given steps is to observe the fraudulent transaction details carefully. For every transaction the bank provides very limited but important information of the date, time and the merchant id/string on which the transaction was performed. For example in one of the cases that I studied and was able to successfully recover the money for the victim, the fraudulent transaction reported by his bank was as follows:
SC3245244 22/08/2013 VIN/GYMBOREE.CO/2433423432323233/o DR 3894.64
The SC3.. indicates the transaction ID followed by transaction date, then the Merchant ID clubbed with some unique string for transaction. This is followed by type of transaction DR indicating as debit and the amount. The key is to reach out to the fraud handling department/authority of the Merchant in 24 hours giving details of transaction that was fraudulent. No merchant would like to do business with a stolen card. They will readily block the transaction and revert the amount. This will ensure that you get the money back in your account. However, this is possible only if the merchant has not delivered the goods or process the transaction completely. This usually takes more than 24 hours. In the case mentioned above, when I searched the Internet for Gymboree I was able to locate the merchant website. I asked the victim to contact the merchant. When the victim contacted the merchant through their website and gave details of the transaction it was confirmed by them that the transaction had taken place. The victim then convinced them that the transaction was fraudulent. They asked for the card details and when they were convinced they promptly blocked the transaction and reverted the amount which reflected in victim’s bank account in a couple of days.
Every victim may not be lucky as in this case but one can always try to reach out to the merchant through whatever possible way and give them the real picture. The chances of you getting your money back then become stronger. In some cases like money transfer to individual through PayPal or some other benefits it is bit difficult to get back the money. But if the cybercriminal does online purchase of some items/services then there are high changes of blocking the transaction and getting the money back.
To recover money lost in 419 scams
In case of scams like 419, where the victim himself transfers the money to the cybercriminal, the money can be recovered if he/she acts fast. For example if you transfer money to the scammer by say Western Union or MoneyGram and you realize that it was scam in less than 24 hours you have very good chance to get your money back. You just have to reach out to the right person from help desk of the money transferring merchant and in this case Western Union or MoneyGram.

Sumanto
really really helpful . thank you so much.Now am am a bit aware and know how to handle these situation
this information will be read by hacker and he/she will stop shopping online and usually they do not buy online they withdraw the cash from ATM.because they know these things..as they are hacker,they are more intelligent than us.and sorry to say sir but this trick does not work in INDIA,because of corruption.In India,merchant does not help,instead police first ask for their commission.And steps you have noted above,we usually follow all those steps.but banks rule are like they can not block Card within 24 hours.they says it will require 48 hours to block the card.and secondly we can not reach them and police within 24 hours as their working timings are limited.So boss all above is not going to work in 24 hours.Not at all possible because of banks policies.
Dear Ajay,
I can understand your reaction. The truth is we were able to recover money in two of such cases. In case of identity theft there are two types of frauds One which the hacker/cyber criminal will try to use the stolen information for cash withdrawal and the other where the hacker just has intercepted your card details while doing online transaction (through compromised website or a infected computer). In the other case the hacker is somewhere else and most probably can be in some other country. They try to use the card for online transactions through some online selling portals (like amazon, jabong.. etc). It is possible to recover the money spend on such online transactions by contacting these online shops and convincing about the fraudulent transaction.
Dear sir, can I get a chance to recive money who deducted in my sbi acount before one year.
Very usefull
THanks
Thanks sir.
This information will be helpful.
My orkut account have been hacked and disable by Google. Can i recover again.?
You should contact orkut helpdesk to recover your account.
Very Good information. I think this should surely help the victims in future. One of my friend recently had such experience of money hacking from his bank account, but he could not do anything other than informing bank and reporting to police. But the Police officials here were very much adamant to launch and FIR. This is a long story, and till today as it has been 3 months but he has not got his money back.
Anyways, thank you very much for the information.
Thanks a lot for such kind of useful information.Pl keep it on for the sake of God n Goodness of mankind.

Last year I have purchased a cake for my wife (who was in USA that time) from mumbai. I did the online transaction through credit card. The transaction was successful. But during transaction they have not asked for otp or any password. After 2 days, I had received a msg on my mobile regarding transaction of 200 $ through my credit card for a vendor (supplying valves) located in third country. I have contacted the credit card company and asked to immediately block the card. I have explained them about hacking my card. They told me that if the valve supplier claimed for the payment, then only we can take the action but help less at that moment. Fortunately that valve supplier didn’t ask for payment.
Thanks for this valueable information.
I faced a similar incident last year. My credit card was fraudulently used for an online purchase worth 380 Euros (Rs 27000). I reported the matter to the bank immediately and the transaction was blocked. As the used currency was different and also due to full support from my bank i was able to recover the full amount

My friend was having two Debit cards and he used only ICICI card when to withdraw money from ATM. He was having SBI card also and un-lucky part was both cards were having same pin.
Within a span of few seconds his SBI saving a/c was debited nine times and he lost Rs.90000/- where SBI is not willing to give CCTV footage and they are showing only some part of footage to him.
Can this be term as fraud? If so how to tackle? Police are not taking complaint SBI telling you took the money.
ATM used was SBI ATM only all the time as it was near to his house.
dear friend,
what u said is a not correct.as per SBI rule a card holder can withdraw money from his account through atm is only up to Rs 40000 per Day(24 hour).No SBI account holder can with draw more than this amount in a day at any cost.
It happned with me during November, 2011. I got calls 2-3 times, asking details and told me, “we are just checking your details”, as they informed my details, available with them. I suspected, while they were asking about some confidentials details, which bank never ask, so I refused, but they threatned me to block my account, I didnt give any details. After 2 days i got an SMS about some failed transaction attempts, I called customer care, they told me it was done by them, just to check my security features, next day again I got failed transaction SMS. But after some minutes I got transction message amount of Rs. 2000. I called customer care and informed, and request them to block the same, as my limit was Rs.100000. They informed 3 transactions were carried out within few minutes, before blocking the card, result, I have to pay Rs. 6000, which I never used. Bank informed me, it was done from Pakisatn. Next day it happened with my Saving Account, with same bank, around 20 transactions were made within 40 minutes, while I rushed to bank, while transactions were on, Chennai, Mumbai, Benglore was also contacted by Delhi Branch, but they failed to stop the same. My Card was lying at managers table, but both were helpless. Its cost me Rs. 21000, untill it was blocked, otherwise cost may be higher, as it has amount in Lakhs, including FD’s.
I lodged complaints with local police station, at cyber cell, at bank, but still I lost the amount, bank never helped me, its a terrible experience, both accounts were with HDFC Bank.
I had all evidences, before happeinings, during happenings, telephone call voice recording, SMS’s, but all were failed. Its my story sir, you are right, but I got terrible experience in 2011.
Very nice information………..thanks to quickheal and double thanks to you.
Yes…it happend for me too but in another way, after a long way of not using of my cart(almost 6 month)i discerned the my cart number is invalid & some one with another carte had to empty my account!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I’m not yet understand how the person was able to get my bank a new card with new number…The bank has denied all of these events too!!!!!!!!!?I really do not know what should I do…If every one can help please contact with jalilian515@gmail.com farewell
Sorry to know about your loss. As mentioned in the blog if the fraudulent transaction is taken place online and has taken place recently (less than 24 hours) the transactions can be reverted by contacting the merchant to whom the payment was done. In other cases you will have to take help of local police.
Dear All,
It was also happened with one of my friend in Chandigarh. He was in New Delhi for his official meeting. suddenly he received a message from his bank that he has made transaction of Rs. 20000/- on his credit card. after few minutes he received one more message from the bank that again one more transaction has made.
He immediately called his bank and blocked the card. Then he came to Chandigarh and visited his bank. He has to do lots of formalities to prove that he has not made these transactions and he cant pay amount of Rs. 40,000/-. After 10 to 15 days it was realized that his card details has been stolen from one of the petrol pump in Chandigarh where he use to feel petrol in his car regularly. then the bank launched the complaint against this incident and the amount was not recovered from my friend. Here my friend was lucky that bank has supported and not taken any amount from him. but be aware about these kinds of frauds.
Here I just like to suggest you that whenever you do any transaction on your Debit or Credit card be present still your transaction completes.
because we don’t know who is going to stole your card details.
have happy transactions on your cards.

Sir,
Your information & suggestion is very useful for general people also me.
1. I hold a cr cd issued by HDFC bank.The bank always send an SMS on transactions being done . There is a debit of apprx 100US$ for an alleged transaction but no SMS was sent to me . Now the bank promised to make an enquiry and after sometime claimed that the transaction has been genuinely done . The bank claims that it has some proof. How to challenge the incorrect debit and how to prove the wrong debit ?
2. On an earlier occasion also – a cash withdrawal by HDFC cr card of Rs.10000 from ATM of other bank was challenged as the money did not come out of the ATM. Yet the banker HDFC after making his own enquiry said that cash was withdrawn . How to prove that money actually did not come out of ATM ?
To answer your queries one need to have a look at the transaction details as shown in your bank statement. For your query on how to prove is that this has to be banks duty to prove that the transaction is done by you when you are rejecting it. You need to file police complaint against bank claiming that you have not done the transaction. But for all this time factor is very important.

All these transactions were made online. On enquiry I found that they were made outside India and without password authentication, which I was informed is not necessary if one uses it outside India. How do these happen?
To answer your query of how do these fraudulent transactions happen is already given in the blog. In your case it seems that your card details had been stolen online (may be when you had been doing some on-line transactions). This can happen through various means like phishing (visiting fake website) or if your system is infected by malware that captures your card details while you do the transaction online.
Your above bank statement shows that all these fraudulent transactions were taken place in the month of July. Had you contacted the respective merchants at that time you would have got most of your money refund back by blocking the transaction. You have to react in 24 hours’ time.
The transaction details show that few of them are payment gateways like PAYPAL, PAYZA.COM and Probiller.com. These merchants do respond to such fraudulent transaction claims and block the transactions if we contact them immediately. If the money is not gone to hacker it can be blocked. It takes some time for money to reach the hacker.
What you can do is you can still try to contact these merchants (specially PAYZA, Probiller) and find out if the transactions went through. Like if somehow they later realized that this transaction was a fraud they also block it but such amount stays in suspense account until someone claims it. Try to contact their support and find out if these transactions went through and tell them that it was your card that was used fraudulently. Its almost impossible to get the money now but never know you may get lucky. For Probiller visit https://probiller.com/support, for Payza visit their website and find their support page. You can try this with all the merchants in the transactions.
Thank you very much for this valuable information sir.

Hello Sir thank you for such a valuable information.
Sir I paid for Aliexpress via debit card and amount got debited from my account but I cancelled the order in the website before payment verification which is to be done by them. As they say the payment verification takes place within 24 hrs. They say now they won’t ask my bank (SBI) for the money and the bank will hold the money. What should I do? How will the balance will return into my account. Thanks in advance
really nice blog it gives good advantages to save the money thanks buddy.
Thanx…… for such a nice and important topic. This was needed for me.
Thanku sir It is really helpful nowadays when millions of accounts are being hacked everyday.
Thank you for the useful information.
However, I am sure that most people will not follow these steps in spite of reading. They are too damn stubborn and lazy to go beyond blocking the credit card or bank account.
Hi friends,
I would like to share a incident happened with my brother’s Standard Charted Debit Card, this happened in Mid 2011, he had done a online purchase 1 year back when he was in USA, that was the only online purchase he ever did, all of a sudden one day he started getting a message one after the other of Rs3000, then Rs4000 is deducted, in total around Rs15,000 was deducted, we immediately contacted our bank on phone banking and blocked the card and the account. The transaction took place in some other country which we never heard of! Bank promised to give us our money back, but in installments. In a span of 3months we got 90% of our money back.
immediate action was the best remedy for us. I hope this helps you all.
May God bless you all,
Chers,
Saurabh Pandey
Hello Saurabh,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Such information helps educate our readers and make them more cautious against such incidents.
Regards,
This is very useful piece of information, no doubt. However, I request you to give us a instances of hacking in general.
Hello Mr/Ms Kulkarni,
Thank you.
Talking about a general instance of hacking, we can take the following hacking incident that recently occurred:
Reportedly, Vodafone Germany has been compromised by hackers, exposing sensitive and personal information of about two million customers. This information includes names, addresses, date of births, and even bank account numbers. The authrorities concerned have said that, more critical information such as credit care detials, phone numbers, and passwords are safe. It is suspected that an internal server on Vodafone’s network was compromised for this hacking attempt.
Regards,
Thanks for sharing very improtant info.
Thanks Sir helped me a lot.
It is very difficult to get through the current law system to recover our hard earned money. What I could see in Mr Sant Ram’s case is that bank also didnt do much to protect or stop the transactions from taking place which is not right. Also I would like to point out that we should not leave our account dormant or stop using it for any time gap. At times such accounts also get cleaned up and we come to know only when we once upon a time like situation decide to go and check the account status.
Also I came across some random issues where the ATMs are not supposed to place the camera facing the ATM screen and it should be facing the user and behind the ATM screen.
In the present age of online banking activities where our details can be easily available to the hackers through various bugs, spyware, malware, etc. we should be very vigilant at all times to safeguard our earnings so that no one can fleece us and take away our money.
Thnaks sir!
Really this information is helpful for every man. 🙂
think you sir
Resp Sanjay Katkar Sir,
I have one idea for to stop the frauds trasactions,
From above reply almost all trasactions from hacked cards/details done in third country(from other country ).
so Bank need to one provision whenver the transtions doing for other country required strong confermation like one time password or Email_password before completion.
From this idea we can stop the some %of fraud trasactions which are doing from hacker.

Hello sir what if the hacker uses my online account to buy things and then leave a track only to me what then? Is that possible?
Hi Andrew,
If you inform your bank or lodge a complaint with the police the moment you realize that your account has been hacked, then you may not be blamed for the situation.
Regards,
Rajib
thank you sir.. for your sharing innovative research on online frauds and also for giving a good prophylaxis{which means preventitve treatment in medical language).and also learnt from you that online transactions are not completetly secured and also mobile banking is also so dangerous because its a latest feature that all banks provide,but mobile banking service is also enough for hackers to gain completete acess. because most gsm phones are strictly vulnertable to hacking if these phones are not strengthen with antiviruses and their respective updates also sms from banks also provides enough confidential informations about the its customer..so one best way is to always keep in mind that you have to become more and more careful while onlinebanking and mobile banking
I do agree that Bank will pass the responsibility on the VICTIM to pay the amount, which is NOT AT ALL FAIR, as HOW COME THE HACKER CAN ACCESS the BANK DOMAINS for CVV passwords, PIN, 3D Secured Passwords, which are directly related to the final security levels of the Bank Domains.
Also these passwords were also not visible while feeding the characters as they are quickly converted into “*****” (STARS). That means the Bank Domains are not secured enough, despite these the Banks Claims best Security systems they have, thus BE-FOOLING the Customers. Refer to the cases of recently hacked Bank Accounts of Mumbai Police in SBI & Indian Army account holders in Axis Bank, where the Banks has re-paid the money back to all its Account Holders, whose money was hacked through On-line transaction.
really very good information. thanks a lot.
You are doing a very good job.
Hi
Pls give me suggestion on through online around 20000 amount is deducted while i logg complaint to Bank he says this transection done by online so we will not help this have been shared by your 3d pin to anybody.
can you suggest on it.
Hello Pramod,
We would advise you to follow these steps:
1. If the bank account is hacked immediately after you have done some online transaction from some PC, then first scan and clean your PC with latest anti-virus scanner. This is to get rid of any rootkit or key logger that may have been installed on the PC and which would have compromised your login details and sent it to the hacker.
2. Reset your login password, pin, and security questions & answers.
3. Verify if your contact details such as address and phone number have not been changed by the hacker.
4. Report the scam to right authority in the bank.
5. Report a fraud to local police station.
Regards,
Thanks sir for your reply.
I have report to police as well as bank manager but police station told me this is bank work they have to investigate police will not interfere on this matter then i mate with bank manager he told me that CVV and 3D pin not to be scanned either you have shared with some one or u r hacked by your pc.They have given last of reason but they are not ready to take action for further investigation also told me go and complaint to RBI for further issue.
pls suggest what necessary steps can be taken.
Sanjay,
Very useful tips. I just lost more than 98000 INR from my bank account. I got multiple SMSes in my mobile within fraction of a second and the money was gone. I immediately called the bank up. But they just blocked my debit card and told my dad to lodge a police complaint. This is so frustrating. The bugger has done 13 transactions to syphone the money and the trend is quite predictable as he has tried out with $1 transactions inbetween. I read in different sites in internet, Federal Govt has streamlined the process so beautifully making Banks equally and responsible and accountable for the loss and have defined SLA for responding to the distressed consumer.
The transacation log say “VIN/BEN PORAT Y/201311290442/0”. Can someone explaing how can I find out the merchant’s site?
~Nil
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to learn about your loss. Let me come back to you on this..
I have replied your query and sent you the reply on your email.
What if the hacker cant be tracked making sure that my account is the only possible tracking?
THANX A TON…….CARD HOLDER’s WOULD NOW WON’T HESITATE TO DO ANY TRANSACTION
THANX AGAIN FOR THE SAFETY MEASURES
hi
Sanjay can u pls tell me abut query.
Thank you for vary useful information. What I do not understand is whay RBI is not making it mandatory for all card issuing authorities to issue all credit and debit card with the photograph of the card holder. Further, I have also observed that no merchant outlet varifies the signature on the back side of the card with the signature which a person puts on the invoices and other papers. At present any person can use any one’s credit/debit card very easily. If photo ID cards are issued and if the responsibility of varifying the signature is put on mechant outlets I think such frauds can be minimised.
My brother has just last month moved to Canada to pursue a job there, working hard non-stop since he was 16, earning over £10,000. A Month out there and he feels lonely so his girlfriend tries to go out there to help him, she gets denied at the gates at the airport, so he tries to buy her a flight to Canada by going to the Canadian airport, the tell him his visa is UN-usable and tell him he is a illegal immigrant, and so not understanding what is going on he tries to book a flight out of there to come back to England to find out what is going on, he ‘tries’ to buy a ticket thinking no problem as he had £10,000 in his bank account, his card gets DENIED and they tell him he has no money in his bank account. So he is stuck in a country where he has only been for a month and has no money, his phone is out of charge and we have no way of contacting him. So please, tell me, how do I help him. He doesn’t deserve this, he does nothing wrong, works around the clock since he was 16 and someone has had the BRAINS to STEAL £10,000 of him, now i’ll ask the police and they’ll offer no help, just carry on being FAT useless idiots, talk to the bank, blame it on him, the money stealing novices! The world is sure not fair, and I Tell you this and I mean it, one day I will find who did this and make this most likely FAT non-sociable person pay for what he has done to him! And one day in the future do other peoples jobs for them in helping the DECENT civilization. respond to this email, many thanks.
Hi,
We are sorry to learn about the troublesome affair your brother had to undergo. As you have mentioned, you will be seeking help from the police. Besides that, we would advise you to get in touch with the bank your brother has an account in. Let’s hope they will be able to sort this matter.

Hi Sanjay,
I’m an NRI and have lost INR Five lakhs last year due to some unauthorized ATM transactions happened from a country I never visited. Its clear that my debit card details were skimmed and being used to make these cash withdrawals. I have approached the bank’s branch, regional office and even the corporate office but didn’t get any positive feedback. Lastly a letter was sent the RBI ombudsman’s office in Mumbai and this also not entertained saying that transaction are happened from a place which is not under their jurisdiction.
Kindly advice me on the chances of getting my money back and on whom to approach now…
Hi SHA,
We are sorry to learn about your misfortune. You have mentioned that you have contacted your bank and also the regional office, but did not get the expected results. Therefore, we would advise you to report a fraud to local police station, as mentioned in the post.

Today morning someone called me on behalf of icici bank saying that my account has been blocked and he was resetting a few things. I like an idiot shared my details like CCV and OTP , few seconds alter 15,000/- was debitted from my account. I know this is totally my fault and i am responsible as i have shared the details. But is there anyway to recover my money or stop the transaction.I blocked the card and contacted the bank but they told me that nothing can be done.The police as usual was laughingly telling me to go to a stationary shop for lodging the complain, when i approached a senior official ,he told me to go away and not waste his time.
I am totally clueless as to how to proceed with this since the bank said it will take weeks and police is not helping.
Pl send me your detailed information, so that I can help you in proper way.
I am in private job, not in bank. But as a human being, I can proper help you. Please write me immediately.
Thanks,

Hi Vikrant,
We would advice you to contact your bank regarding this issue. We would also suggest you to change your password for your online banking account.
Regards,
Thanks a lot Sanjay for the post.
I have a dumb question, lets say someone has all the information on the debit card and also the mobile number, without physically having the mobile or the card, can they make online purchase ?.
Regards,
Rekha
Hi Rekha,
Yes, with all the details of a debit card, anyone can make online purchase without the card physically present with them. However, most online transactions require the user to authenticate himself/herself with an OTP (one time password), which is sent to the user’s registered mobile number. So, without the registered mobile number, the online transaction won’t go through.

I just arrived in Chennai,India 2 weeks ago..
About a week later I went to the ATM machine to withdraw some money at a local bank with my visa card. Yesterday went to do the same but from a different ATM machine only this time when I got my slip the balance was completely wrong. Showing half the amount of what was supposed to be there. So I quickly went online to check my bank balance only to realize debit amounts in my account I had not known about totaling to almost $4000/-. I immediately called my bank in my home country and explained to them what had happened to m with checking account balance online through my bank is that the bank can even take a week to update and bring your account balance upto date. So I immediately asked her to give me the correct balance of my account and from $8000/- my account has been drained to about $250/- of which I managed to withdraw yesterday. Worst part about all this is that my bank says they can’t do anything so my money is gone. But the worst part is that I’m in India for medical reasons and the money was for paying medical bills for my dad.
Is there anything I can do to read cover my money… Any assistance will highly be appreciated..
Hi Masoud,
In the post we have outlined the steps one can take to recover their money if their account has been hacked or card details stolen.

I had someone get my routing and checking number in a business account and over the two years they took 70,000 dollars today I go to the attorney generals office and turn all info over to them, I did find out who they were, they were making car payments with the credit card they used in my account,
Hello Sir,
please guide me in recovering my money which i lost through phishing scam. I had received an email asking to fill KYC details & unknowingly i have filled some details through which fraudsters have withdrwan my money of around 60000/- by making duplicate debit card, where as i have my original card with me. i have given complaint in bank & also to police. Bank people are telling that they are not responsible for it. please help me in how i can get back my money.
Hi Savitha,
We are sorry to learn about your misfortune. It is unfortunate that your bank has not extended any help in this matter. What we would recommend is to take a followup with the police regarding the matter. There are good chances that they will be able to provide you with substantial help.

what do these transactions mean are they online shopping or otherwise who is merchant according to you. can these merchant help me to cancel these transactions. I have informed mobikwik and payTM. these are unauthorized transactions from icici bank account with debit card-
1) INR 2,000. 00 VIN*PayTM on 11-03-2014 09: 51: 22.
2) transaction of INR 2,000 VI N*PayTM on 11-03-2014 09: 52: 06
3) transaction of INR 1,000.00 VIN*PayTM on 11-03-2014 09: 55: 51

5) transaction of INR 1,490.00 VIN*WWW MOBIKWI on 11-03-2014 10:01:40
Hi Ketan,
If these transactions have been carried out from your debit card, you need to immediately call ICICI Bank and block the card so that further debits cannot occur. You need to then speak to the customer service center and inform them that these fraudulent transactions have taken place. You would also need to contact the service team of PayTM and MobiKwik and inform them about this.
Best regards.

today somebody had used my debit card details to make online purchase through steam games amounting to 40000 inr thru a total of 8 transactions can someone help me in recovering the money ,i had blocked my card and registered a complaint both at icici bank and the police station
Hi Gowri,
We are sorry to learn about your misfortune. You did the right thing by filing a complaint at the police station, and also notifying your bank. Let’s hope they will help you in this matter.
Regards,
Hi Gowri,
Same happened with me, someone fraudulently used my ICICI Bank debit card details against unauthorised transactions on steam games total of 2 transaction amounting 5200 inr and right after second transaction I received a phone call from ICICI Bank asking if I did those transaction, and after that they blocked my debit card to further stop more transactions. It seems they were aware of that those transaction were unauthorised and that’s why they acted fast and call me because it was happened before. I have registered the complaint at icici bank and they are asking for docs(FIR) regarding this fraud.
Please tell me if your dispute was resolved by ICICI bank and you recovered your money. Please reply, it will help me regarding to deal with them.
Hi
I got a call saying that i am calling from Provident fund office and you will get your provident fund in 24 hrs. so he told me to give your debit card details to match pf account transfer when i gave him, he told that he cannot transfer the money in one account so he told me give any other account, but till that time he withdrawal all my money from bank. when i gave him the other debit number he also withdrawal the money from that.i tried calling him but no response.
Hi Khurram,
Unfortunately, you fell victim to a phishing phone call. Provident Fund transfers only happen once you submit certain forms to your organization. You should have not given your card details over a phone call to an unverified person in this manner. We suggest you immediately contact the police and the concerned bank and ask them for assistance regarding this.
All the best.
dear sir,thank you for your blog.On 4th May I booked a movie ticket with ticketnow.com.Next day ,on 5th May I received bank message that online purchase has been done.Realizing that it is a fraud,I searched for ICICI bank customer care number,called them and blocked the card.But in this period of 5-8 minutes,three more transactions happened with TCGPLAYER.COM and I lost around Rs.33000. Then I went to bank,taken statement from them and visited the police station to file a complaint and get an FIR.But no body was interested to take such kind of complaint.Then I have done some internet search and found your article most informative and useful.As per your suggestion,I contacted TCGPLAYER.COM within 4 hours by E mail(no phone no.available in their website).I explained the problem and asked them to refund my money.They promptly replied and within 4 days I got back nearly 30000 RS.
As you have suggested,first block the card and then call the seller at the earliest.Once again thank you.
Dear Ramachandra,
We are glad to hear that you were able to successfully retrieve most of the money stolen from you. It is good to know that there are cases where the money is actually refunded. Your story should help others too when they find themselves in a similar situation. Thank you for sharing this.

hi. today 20/6/2014 i got a call in the morning from ICICI bank that I need to block my debit card coz some fraudulent transactions have been made on my debit card as it was early morning I was half slept I thought someone is bullshitting. but when I hanged up I saw seven texts in my inbox. when I check I saw 7 transactions of total INR.32377.I called ICICI bank customer care and blocked the card. I rushed to ICICI bank and spoke to the staff and the manager about it. when they checked the transactions were made in Canada and the debit card which was used was my previous debit card which is invalid coz I have got a new debit card from ICICI bank few months back. but still the transactions were approved on that card which is disgusting. how can ICICI bank approve the transactions on the card which is not valid anymore in their records. I have filed a complaint in my nearest police station in bandra Mumbai also. and now the ICICI bank is saying it will take them min. two weeks Max. three months to credit the amount back into my account. I’m curious will they really credit the amount or not?kindly suggest what should I do.
thanks….
Hi Shah,
It is highly unfortunate that such an incident happened to you but at least it came to your notice before more money was debited from your account. It is good that ICICI contacted you and that you have already filed a complaint with the police. It is hoped that your money would be returned to you as soon as possible. We cannot say with certainty how long that will take though. But we wish you all the best. Do let us know when your cash is refunded to you.
Best regards.
i want to know that can’t the police can trace the ip adress and phone nos. from which the transactions were done.if not in india can the merchants can refund the money.
Hi Ritik,
Thank you for your question. IP addresses can be traced but there are several softwares that are easily available which can mask the IP address of a machine. So this process cannot be relied on blindly. Moreover, if the location of the perpetrator is in a foreign country, several international laws and legal issues also come into the picture. Same is the case with tracing of phone numbers. So, these cases need to be treated as unique every time they occur and there is no one fixed way to tackle all such incidents.
Best regards.
if it is done in india and if it is done in internet cafe then it can’t be traced.can the merchants refund the money if an wrong tranasactions are done.
Hi Ritik,
The merchants can refund the money if a compelling case is made. If it is proven beyond doubt that a transaction was fraudulent, they have to refund the money. But again, this is highly subjective and depends on a case to case basis.
Best regards.
i got a mail from icici bank regarding the fraudluent transaction which were made on 21/6/2014 and they said icici bank is working on it but the bank is not liable for this.how can they say icici bank is not liable?if icici bank is not liable then who is liable?i have my money in the bank not on a street where no one is liable for anything? trasactions were made just coz of neglgence of bank or i can extremely poor security reasons of the bank.
kindly suggest how to handle the matter?
Hi Shah,
Incidents like this are always unfortunate and every party tries to absolve themselves of blame. However, it is the bank’s responsibility to ensure that your money is returned, unless it is proven that the loss occurred due to your negligence. We suggest you report this to your local police station and also register a complaint with the cyber crime cell of India. We hope that your money is returned to you.
Best regards.

We are sorry to learn about your loss. If you think you are not getting adequate support from your bank, then it is advisable to raise a complaint with the police.

My citibank creadit card hacked by someone on 12th july’2014 and he did three online transactions in USD /GBP currencies. Within 3 hours of transactions i informed citibank regarding fraud happened and asked them to stop payment to merchants.BUT citibank ignored my requests and paid to the merchant. In my case the problem is merchants are fake as their sites are either not up or credentials given are wrong. So i cant think of getting refund from the merchant asthese sites are made for Fraud purpose (looks like).
After 3 days i got new card reissued to me and to my surprise i used that card only once and again the same hacker did one more transaction on new card on 22nd July’2014 (i am saying that the same person as the merchnat is same whose site is not up and running for shopping) .
Citibank is not listening to us and just saying that as these transactions are done using IPIN so we cant help you.
Citibank is not at all coopearting. Even for second Fraud we informed bank within three hours of fraud happening.
We are still struggling to get our money back. But i can say is Citibank is hopeless bank and doesnot care for their customers.
Hi Seema,
This is a very serious problem indeed and it is unfortunate that your bank is not cooperating with you. Firstly, we suggest you switch to another bank once all this is done. Secondly, have you approached the police yet? Filing an FIR may seem like a tedious job but it will certainly help in this matter. We suggest you do that ASAP. Also, please contact the Indian cyber crime cell for further assistance as they look into such cases in detail. Here is their link – https://cybercrimecomplaints.com/cyber-crime-cells-india.
Hope this helps and you are able to get your money back soon.
Best regards.
My ATM cards got stolen from my car.
I came to know about it only when the transactions were made.
I had 7 cards and transaction was made from all 7 cards. Each from a different location almost simultaneously.
Now i have blocked my cards.
I want to know how have the thieves been able to withdraw money from all atm cards each having a different PIN altogether?
Can I get my money back?
Hi PPG,
We are sorry to hear about your situation. Firstly, yes you can get the money back. For that you need to contact your banks and the police as well. Since the transactions have almost all been made at the same time, it will be a bit easier to prove that this is not humanly possible, especially if all the transactions were from different locations. However, you will need to chase the authorities for this. Secondly, in the future please do not carry so many ATM cards with you. Try to carry only one which you will use for your day to day expenditure and keep the available balance here not too high, so that your loss will not be high in case of theft/loss. We cannot comment on how the attacker managed to crack 7 different PINs, as there are many different techniques used for this purpose.
We hope you successfully manage to reclaim your money.
Best regards.
hey, today morning i got a series of messages saying that so and so amount has been deducted from my account. and in total i lost around 40000. 🙁 i contacted the customer care of central bank of india and they said these are out of country trasactions and asked me to report to bank. i have mailed them. what else should i do? the transactions say atm withdrawal and the amounts are 421.02, 1683.48, 4208.40 and even 20250.42. how can somebody withdraw this much amount in one day. i have never parted with my information, still how can this happen ??

sir,
im recent victim to the fraudster, which was happened.on 4/8/14. my story was different. please give suggestions after reading my story.
Due to failed transaction of amt Rs. 612 by ATM ( actually which was approved by Axis payment gateway but failed to redirect to merchant site). I immediately lodged a complaint ( upto this every thing was fine)
later i got a cal from someone(As a consumer. forum care) who assured me to refund & asked all ATM details including PIN ( at 1st i doesnt agree to share my PIN but convinced as he had made a Missed call from my ATM TOLL FREE NO.+18004252910, I have knowledge that no bank asks PIN, but fell to his trick)
i lost 5000 (as 2 equal parts) within minutes ( Sms alerts). (this was happened during night)
i called him next day mrng at 1st he received my call( i asked his name & place , he was dumb)but later placed busy tune.
i googled for mobile tracking bt not get exact details.
i found the transaction on my net banking portal, which is as follows:
1. POSTXN/04-08-2014 19:16:45/22316851 amt Rs.5000.( actually in two halves with a gap of 2 min).
please help me the way atleast to trace. even my amount looks somewhat less, most people ignore these as small amts. this favours these fraudsters to continue with small amts to be on safe side as no one complains & mostly ignores to take risk with police.
i want to catch this fraud.
Hi Ganesh,
We are sorry to learn about your misfortune. We believe, lodging a complaint with the police may help you with this issue. Also, please understand that, no bank will call you asking for your bank details. If you do get any calls in future, do not respond and report the same immediately to your bank.

Then why the banks push you to make transactions online if they are not able to offer a secure transaction. Ordering checks have become a night mare. They are very expensive to make you use online transaction. Everything is a mockery
On Saturday when i checked my saving account statement online , found that one cheque was cleared by citi bank for rs. 16500.00 , which I reported to my bank and showed them the same cheque is still with me but till now nothing has been done.can somebody help me in this regard.
Hi Anil,
It is unfortunate to hear about this incident. You will need to follow up with your bank to refund the money as this is clearly a mistake. If they do not cooperate, then you will need to contact your local police station as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot Sanjay for your so much valuable information.
I was hit with a debit card fraud recently and the bank was giving no clear information and very bad response.
It was only because of info on your blog that i was able to recover my money.
sir,

so , plse tell me what to sir ..it happened on 20/08/2014..called from india airtel telicom 9661956738
Hi Saurabh,
Please do not respond to such calls and do anything they ask you to do. If you are in doubt, visit your bank and ask them face to face if there is some issue with your ATM card. If your card validity is close to expiration, you will receive official notifications from the bank and not random phone calls such as this. If you have given out your card details, please block the card immediately.
Regards.
i often do online shopping and i think someone has stolen my card no. and password,its a maestrocard so there is no need of otp,someone has shopped og worth 5999 from my card.can i get the name of that person who has done it and name of the online store?
Hi Rakesh,
You can view your account statement to see the name of the store. If your card details have indeed been stolen, please report this to your bank as soon as possible and get the card blocked. Also, for a refund of a fraudulent transaction, you will need to resolve this with your bank. You should also approach your local police station so that you can convince the bank about the genuineness of your situation.
Regards.
Hi Sanjay and Team,

HI ,
Today only i have encountered the same fraud, somebody has made a purchased from my account of Rs 9000 can you suggest me how can i resolve this
Hi,
Today I received 5 SMS saying that I made a debit card purchase. Firstly 62.89 rupees were deducted and reversed twice. After that 13054 got deducted immediately. I have not made any debit card purchase recently (at least in the 3 months). I only use online banking and never used debit card number or cvv to pay for my transactions. Still I don’t know who someone can clone or get my debit card details and do such fraudulent transactions. I immediately called the bank and blocked my card. They said their fraud investigation team will look into this and get back to me.
Any Idea on how to find the merchant “BEIJINGHANY” ??

Hi,
BEIGINGHANY seems to be Chinese merchant, I tried to search it more on Google and many of the sites are in Chinese language. This it making it difficult to understand who exactly is the merchant. Your transactions indicate that the trial run was done on Encryptomat and then it was used for making the fraudulent transaction. Sorry I could not help you in this case..
Hi,
The same merchant took 17k from my account. I’m in process of filing an FIR on ICICI at the moment. merchant name is BEIJINGHANY
If anyone know my atm card no ,atm pin &cvv.he will debit by online shoping and money transfer. Then how can i get that kind of fraud.
Can police reach to the fraud and how pls tell me.
If someone knows your card no, PIN and CVV, you should immediately change the PIN number. The person who knows these details can easily create a similar fake ATM card and use it to withdraw cash. Cash withdrawal is difficult to catch. This information can also be used for online shopping and payments. The only solution would be to get the card blocked and get a new card issued. It is always good to use chip card as it has additional 3D password/PIN which you need to supply at the time of each online transaction. If your card has already been misused by someone in that case please read the blog carefully, I have given some suggestions on how to try to recover the money.
I have an Salary account with your bank Sec -XX , Noida Brach with A/c No : XXXXXX. I have made a cash withdrawal from XX ATM ( XXX, Ghaziabad) on 30-Aug-2014 at 18:15:23 PM. After there are five more transaction done each of RS 10,000 done from ATM card on the same day between 23:31 PM 23:34 PM. In messages the remark is coming CASH-ATM/AGRA/AGRA .Agra is so far from Ghaziabad .Its not done by me and my ATM card was with me all the time. No Bank name is appearing under these transactions .
After complain ,someone again try to withdrawal amount on 2-sep-2014,but My Card was block so i got notification.i complain again for the same.
Please suggest
My post of recovering money gone from hacked account was with respect to transactions done for online payments and not for ATM cash withdrawals. Your case clearly states that the cash was withdrawn from ATM and this is difficult to recover. You will have to take the help of law enforcement/police.
pls is it possible to receive money through your debit mastercard if it has been block.
Someone use my card details to purchase movies from disneymovieclub, i sent a mail to them alerting them of the frudulent act, they replied my email that they will send the money back,But i have already block the atm card to avoid any further debit of my account. what i will love to know if i can still receivee the money.. THANKS
Hi,
Yes you will receive the money. To be sure, you can speak with them once again while they do this. They simply have to reverse the transaction which should not be a problem.
Regards.
Hi sir,
It seems like somebody has duplicated my debit card and used it to purchase something amounting 65000 from another country. I am clueless how this can happen. The bank people said it might be a case of Skimming as the transaction is not done through online. Initially the bank had suggested not to file an fir in Cyber Crime Police station as my online account has not been hacked and its a case of probably skimming. Also they told me that amount will be credited back to my account in 7 days after some initial investigation. But again I got a call from the bank after 4 days saying that I need to file an FIR since this transaction is done from outside of india. Can I file a FIR now? what step I should take next? As per RBI rule bank should return my money in 7 days as these is no fault of mine. But the customer care people told me that rule prevails only if fraud transaction happened within india. Not sure what is the correct rule. Please suggest.
Regards,
Rohan
Hi Rohan,
Firstly, we regret to hear about your case. The bank seems to be doing all in their power to rectify this. However, you should file an FIR as soon as possible. You have lost money through theft so no matter what happens, you must have an FIR. Whether the bank needs it or not does not matter. We are not sure what rules apply if the fraudulent transaction has happened outside India, but this should not change anything. Approach the cyber crime cell as well and get their guidance. The bank is faultless here really, but they are the ones who need to compensate you no matter what they say.
We wish you all the best.
Best regards.

Hi Arun,
Banks never call their customers and ask for personal details such as these. This is a tip that all banks and security advisors give out on a regular basis. Via emails or calls, no bank will ever ask customers for these details.
Right now, you need to visit your local police station and file an FIR immediately. Also contact your bank and see if they can do anything about this. We are sorry to hear about your case but you need to act fast to recover this money.
Best regards.
Hi
On 31st August2014, I got five alerts saying there is five unauthorized transactions of total INR 63000.00 on my Visa Debit card. The card is with me I got this alert through mobile as well as registered email ID. And immediately called the customer care and requested to block the card and transaction. The customer care people immediately block the card on 31/8/2014.They advised me to rep[ort the p[olice.
As I am staying in abroad with my family, my brother lodged a complaint India Police Station and details were sent to ICIC bank .
Now I am not getting any response from ICICI

Pl help me
Hi Manoj,
Sorry to hear about your case. You need to keep contacting your bank and also ask your brother to visit the police again. The consumer court should also be paid a visit online and so should the cyber crime cell. We hope you manage to get your money back.

Hi,
My STandard Charted Credit Card was used online on international websites for Rs 100000.It was bloced right away. cusotomer care called me when transaction’s going on (15 transactions) & blocked card. I had lost my card in home and coud not locate it and i reported it as lost. I filled the DDF form. But after 1 month i checked with bank and they even not contacted merchant.
When i contacted merchants, either they trated me as spam or otherwise after giving intial fraud transaction confirmation, they did not give further details asked me to contact bank.
Now, I know some of transactions happened through paypal, which can be recovered if bank had contacted them. but they did not contacted merchant/visa. in mail when i ask the bank give deatils what merchant says, they did not even tell that they had contacted them, they always tell that i had to pay.
After two months in my addon card i recived another fraud transaction of Rs 230 , which then i called bank to block it.
As Bank does not coperated, not approached merchant. should i report to banking obsedmun. In case i approach banking obsedmun, what is the rule.
Or should i contact consumer court. They have put bank late payment charges and sent another card which i did not asked for.
Pease help.
Thanks-
Hi Jitendra,
We are sorry to hear about your case and can understand how traumatic and frustrating this must be. In this case, since you have been trying all possible steps and also been waiting for a long time, we suggest you approach your local police station and file an FIR. Then you should visit the cyber crime website and file a complaint with them. And you should also contact the customer court for poor support from your bank. Approach all the authorities possible, as only then will the bank start taking your case seriously. The amount involved is not small and you deserve a refund and further compensation for your troubles.
Best regards.
I went through an online fraud on 4th sep 14 and I read this blog just a few minutes after blocking my card. I immediately searched the websites and contacted their customer care. I had lost 20,795 rupees and at first I thought it was gone for good. But in just a few days the websites returned all my money. I didn’t even have to prove that the transactions weren’t made by me. They said that they did an investigation and found that the transactions were fraudulent and so returned my money immediately.
So I want to thank you a lot for such a useful blog post. I’m more convinced then ever that in such cases there is no use of banging your head against police and bank customer care employees. Instead try to contact the websites. That seems to be the best solution but you have to do it as soon as possible.
I just wanted to ask you a question about this whole scam. The four transactions that were made from my card were on dating sites. I don’t understand why would a hacker try to buy dating site subscriptions from my card? Isn’t there some way for the hacker to get cash or get the money transferred to his own account? I just don’t understand what the hacker got by sending my money to these dating websites.
I have a conspiracy theory though. I think that many websites hire hackers to hack into accounts and make purchases from their website. If someone asks for their money back, they promptly return it saying that it was a fraudulent transaction. But I’m guessing 8 out of 10 people don’t think of asking the websites. They just end up arguing with the banks. In such cases the websites get to keep the money. Do you think this could be the case?
I’m sure about a similar strategy used by almost all phone companies in India. They automatically activate value added services on the phones of those customers who they think are illiterate or poor. So whenever the poor guy gets a recharge, money is debited from his phone. This happened to me with BSNL. At first I didn’t do anything coz it was just 8 rupees. But then it started happening again and again and in total 100+ rupees were cut for several value added services that i never subscribed to. Finally I went to their site and found the user manual and it was written clearly that value added services can’t be started without the consent of the user. So I wrote a big email to the head of complaints department in my city. Immediately I got an apology and they returned all of my money in installments. But there must be so many people who just don’t understand what is going on or just don’t complain.
Sadly in today’s world companies don’t find anything wrong with breaking laws if they can’t get caught. If they can exploit a loophole they have no moral objections to it. Do you think this hacking attack on my card from these dating sites could be a similar case?
Hi Aditya,
Thanks for your email and sharing your experiences and feedback.
It’s definitely plausible that the hacker in your case was working in league with the website itself. The fact that they readily returned the money to you certainly points in that direction. However, this is a rare instance. In most cases that we have seen, the websites and companies take a lot of convincing about fraudulent transactions. Especially if they are e-commerce websites because in that case they face a loss of money and the shipped goods. So as you have mentioned, it is helpful to contact the companies directly as soon as possible. But in most cases, getting an immediate response is tough. So one should contact the bank and the police as well. After all, this does qualify as a case of online theft and crime.
A lot of unfair practices do occur in several industries and unfortunately, there are not many people like yourself who take the effort to try to resolve it. The reason companies get away with such activities is due to the negligence of the consumers. So it is always good to spread awareness. We hope that you continue your work to show others the way in this manner, and also hope that you do not have to go through incidents like the one you have mentioned again.
Best regards.
Thank you Sanjay for your valuable Blog……
Sir,
Your blog has been valuable in information and also confirms the reality that getting back lost money is not going to be easy.
My case is, my icicibank account has been misused for 2 fraudulent transactions of 43000/- each total 86000/-. It is an internal icici bank fund transfer to two accounts of different branches in Mumbai.this has happened on 09/09/14 and I realised on 12/09/14.
I realised the fraud only after 3 days because I did not receive any SMS or email alert regarding this.
I jus logged into my account today and got this shock and rushed to the bank where such customary complaint session and then filing an FIR with the police was done.
Now the bank is so discourteous and jus asks me to wait for a response from them when I am asking whom to contact next.
I have not shared any of my banking details with anybody. I do not do any internet transaction at all.my debit card was intact with me till I blocked it and discarded it this morning.
I am still wondering how this could have happened without the debit card, OTP etc?
I am totally devastated. Pls can you help with some information as to how I can pursue this?
This is a clear case of bank’s internet security compromised or some internal hand in it.
If the bank does not respond properly what is my next course of action?
Rgds,

Hi,
Thank you for your prompt response. I am pursuing with the bank and they don’t seem to be owning up or even being considerate in even intimating me a decent turn around time.
My question is how long should I wait for the bank to respond?

Hey Sanjay,
First of all, thanks for sharing this important information.
I am a student. Recently, I am encountering some problem with my SBI online banking. Someone is trying to login my SBI online account. Every time my account is being blocked for the day due to three wrong password attempts. It happened 3rd time today (07-01-14) within 5 days duration. I come to know about this everytime immediately by the SBI message on my mobile. Although in between I changed my password also. But I don’t want any misfortune to happen. Can anyone suggest what should I do next to avoid any misshappening?? I haven’t shared my password or any other details with anyone. Is there any means by which I can trace from which place or IP address this unauthorized attempts is being made???
I would be extremely helpful if anyone suggest me something.
Hi Sandhya,
We would suggest you to immediately contact your bank regarding this matter. If someone else is trying to access your account, it is clear that they are not aware of the correct password. However, they might be knowing your user id. You can request your bank to change your user id, if it is possible.
Regards,
Dear Sanjay

My father immediately block his ATM card from customer care but during that he loose approx Rs 55000 from his account used for online shoping. We all family members put our best efforts to identify the sites/ Merchant used for online shoping with help of pnb cyber cell. Finally we get the details that online shoping was done on the following sites:- ccavenue.com, ptmcash.com,ebs.com. After contacting with customer care of all the sites(After a lot of follow up) all sites has given confirmation mail that all transaction made by using my father debit card details are stopped & money will be returned within 5-7 working days.
Till here every thing was fine. But after waiting of approx 20 days when we do not received the money back we asked from the customer care of the sites, all sites revert that while refunding process they are facing transaction error due to myfather ATM card used for these transaction is blocked.We confirmed that we have issued new card from PNB for same account & PNB is not able to reactivate old blocked card. But sites are not accepting our request , also bank is not supporting in this matter. Now all sites started to give threat that if transaction are not sucessfull than they will return the money to marchant.
Not able to understand wht to do. Please give the comment if u hv any solution

Hi Sanjeev,
This is truly a disheartening news. We would advise you to persuade your bank to help you solve this matter. You also have an option to lodge a complaint with the Reserve Bank of India if you think you are not getting adequate support from your bank. Please follow the below link for the same:

Hi Shital,
We are sorry to hear that such a huge amount has been lost by you due to a fraudulent transaction. We recommend that you visit your local police station and file an FIR immediately.

Hi plz help me I got a call and he said he’s from the bank and within 6 days my ATM is gonna block and then he asked me for my bank details and den password I refused once but den unfortunately I gave him . he purchased sum items from my money its been 12 hours .I already informed in police station . But I want your help sir plz tell me what to do. And do u think dat money will recover.
Hi Omkar,
As you may know, giving out your details to somebody on the phone should never ever be done. It is good that you have filed a complaint with the police station. As of now, you must block your card and ask the bank for a new one as well. In this case, getting the money back may not be possible since you yourself gave out your details. However, the police will be able to guide and help you better in this matter. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do. We regret to inform you about that. We hope you get your money back soon.

Hi i recently was fooled by a guy and he took 500 rupees from my account. He said that he is a customer service rep from one of the online phone recharge merchants ( dont wish to specify the name) and since my recharge failed he is refunding my account . He asked my card details and cvv along with the one time password. It was so foolish of me to not realise that he was trying for a transaction and he finally took 500 from my account. Agitated i abused that retard and called my bank immediately to block my card. And ordered for a replaced card Sir i want to ask can this guy misuse my account further from the new debit card i ordered.
Hi,
Fortunately, since you have now got a new card, he cannot do any more damage. I would say that you are lucky that he only stole Rs. 500 and not more than that from you. In the future, please never give out your card details to anyone. There is no service that requires a person to ask for these details from a customer.
Regards.
Thanks for replying back. My new card is on my way, however my question was that can he hack my bank details from my previous debit card that was misused??
Hi Rahul,
No he cannot since the previous card is not linked to your account anymore. So you need not worry.
Regards.
Hi, yesterday night a fraudulent transaction happened on my debit card and savings account where amt. of INR32900 was debited from my account for shopping at Moscow Russia. My statement shows store name as Newfurs at St Petersburgh Russia. I have lodged a complaint with the police and intimitated the credit risk department. My query is that when the bank statement shows the merchant outlet name and address why cant bank confirm with the account holder, if he or she is making this suspicious transaction in some country far, far away from India. I think it should be manadatory to confirm from the account holders before honoruing any transaction. Bank people have the records that first the hacker tried to swap 1.5Lakhs and then 75K and finally he succeded with 32900Rs as my acct only had 50000Rs luckily. Please advise and how to go about recovery. I dont have faith in these HDFC bank people. Worst bank with worst internet server security.
Hi Nit,
We are sorry to learn about your misfortune. You have taken the primary measures such as informing your bank, and lodging an FIR. We would suggest you to keep taking follow ups with the police and the bank, and hopefully this matter will get sorted out soon.

Sir, A recent case has taken place for hacking of my account by a call from unknown person impersonating as Bank of Baroda employee where I am holding my account. He gave me the details of ATM cards initial 16 digits and said that your password has been changed by Bank and asked me the old password which I told him. After half an hour messages started pouring in of small withdrawals from my account which I enquired about with my colleagues who said that the amounts are being transferred to new password account after my narration of the phone call from Bank. But someone knowledgeable asked me to enquire Bank and there they revealed that this was a fraud taking place with my account and it was my mistake to reveal my password. At the end I was cheated of 90,000/- Rupees which were withdrawn online in small amounts of 1000 to 5000 range of various transactions. As per your narration above I was told by bank to contact police and file a complaint wherein police said that there was the remotest of chances to recover money. To my amazement police hires private persons for detecting such crimes and we have to pay for their fees . I suppose there might be some cell for these kind of frauds and if they are not dealt seriously such persons get more confidence in doing so. Kindly revert back with some highlight on my case and what steps should be followed. To inform you one more thing is that the person who had impersonated as Bank employee has his cell no. on till date and also had talked on it 2 to 3 times and said that you money would get transferred at midnight which I knew it wont happen. Till date that cell no. is working that means he is not afraid of being tracked or there a way you can suggest to link up. Do help please with your experience in such cases. Thanks
Hi Pankaj,
It is indeed a dreadful experience that you had to undergo. As you have mentioned, you have filed a police complaint and informed your bank about the incident. What we can advise is, keep following up with the police and your bank so that they hasten the process of solving this issue.

sir, can someone hack my account just by knowing my bank account number and IFSC code?
Hi Asha,
IFSC codes are publicly available online. If this information was sensitive, then banks would not have disclosed it. Bank account number, although not public, alone is not enough for a hacker to hack your account.

Last night at around 1 AM i have received a netsecure code generated sms from RM-Axis Bank. Although the transaction did not happen, it looks like a hacking attempt. I went to the branch to complain and even the branch head got a similar message. Can you guys enquire ?
Hi Surya,
Since the branch head also received the same message, Axis Bank are probably looking into the matter themselves. It is best that you follow up with the bank itself as they would be resistant to share such information with us.

can we get the deliveryboy’s phone no. to catch him at the time of receiving the product incase it happens again with anyone in future???
Hi Kumar,
The delivery boy’s number can be obtained from the site from which the order was placed. In this case, Amazon. I hope that the card has been blocked so that such a transaction cannot happen again in the future. You should also lodge a complaint with the police and with the seller if this was a fake transaction that was done without your consent.

I was recently hacked on my casino online account. Because the charge supposedly was done on on my account and was tracked to my home the company refused to return my charges on my bank debit card however the Bank refunded all my money. As long as you notify them right away under the electronic debits act you are protected and can dispute unknown charges. The Casino threatened me and told me they would sue for teh money but I contact the FTC and they were able to clear up issues with regard to any falsified payments and game play.
Look up your rights!!

Hi Srikanta,
Going through the names of these merchants, they seem to be popular e-commerce and online payment portals. To my knowledge, whoever has misused your card has made purchases at sites such as Paytm, Amazon, Monster, Croma online and some other platforms. You have done the right thing by contacting your bank and you should also contact the local police as soon as possible, as you have mentioned. Unfortunately, we cannot help further here as this is a case for the local authorities and your bank to work out in cooperation with each other. We sincerely hope that you are able to retrieve your money and track down this malicious party soon and successfully.
Best regards.

Hi Trimurthy,
We are sorry to hear about this as that is quite a big sum to lose due to theft. You have done the right thing by contacting the bank and police. You must also block your debit card (if not already done) and try to track down the merchant through whom this transaction was completed. If you can show them the FIR and prove that this was a fraudulent transaction, they may agree to reimburse you. But this depends from case to case. You will also need to persist with the authorities and see how they can help you out in this matter. We sincerely hope you are able to retrieve your money soon.

I have my own dowbt how much of it is poosible). The bank has taken my complaint.I didnt recieve any sms or 3d pin generation massage on my mobile which clearly indicates that there has been a security brach at the bank level.

Hi Pallavi,
You have taken the right measures. We would recommend you to follow up with Flipkart and your bank about this matter. And if you still feel that there is no progress, then you can lodge a complaint on consumer forum and RBI bank ombudsman.

Dear friends,
I was going to book a flight online from makemytrip.com. After completing all the fields shown by makemytrip portal i.e filling passenger details, flight & date of journey… Then I was redirected to payment gateway n net banking portal of my concerned Bank by the said company.. I login as per procedure & I received a msg from bank that the payment of RS 5200/-was successful. What happens here I was sent back to makemytrip portal but my booking was not confirmed by them. I immediately contacted makemytrip wherein they stated that they have not received any money nor there is any booking exist.
Then I checked my acct statement where the amount for Rs was shown deducted & transfered to some anonymous acct.
Please advice what should I do & who is responsible for this loss. It happened today only any 2 hrs ago.
My bank is JK BANK.

Hi Deep,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience in detail. This is a new trick by attackers to gain confidential information from victims. You should now spread the word and always remember that credit/debit card details should never be shared via phone. No bank or authority will ever call and ask for these details over a phone call. These attackers use such tricks and fool people but spreading awareness and sharing such incidents is the best possible way to repel such attacks in the future.
Best regards.
thank you so much for ur info. sir

Hi Johnson,
Firstly, you should block all your bank accounts immediately. This includes online banking as well and change all your passwords for your accounts. Secondly, you should visit your local police station and file an FIR regarding this. Finally, visit your bank with this FIR and get them to help you trace down this attacker. We sincerely hope you are successfully able to retrieve the money you have lose to this fraud.
Best regards.

Can an unknown person to me can transfer money to their account through my account number?
Hi Sweety,
The sender of the amount will need your account number, name, branch name and IFSC code. After that, the bank will verify if this information is correct and this takes approximately 12 hours. Only once this is done, can a person transfer money into another account.

thank you

In my case even while taking precautionary measures on 23rd February 2015 between 11.00PM to 11.15PM I got 05 SMS intimations on my registered mobile number for ATM withdrawl of 10000+10000+10000+5000= 45000Rs from my account with only 1352Rs left after the total withdrawl.
I was at my home in Ludhiana and my ATM was with me at home safe and secured. I immediately blocked my ATM card by calling customer care for ICICI and visited the nearest police station at midnight to get my complaint noted.
reference number and asked to wait for 45days
Do I have any chance to get money from Bank if I make consumer complaint?
Hi Vikramjeet,
We are sorry to learn about your tragic incident. As you have mentioned, you blocked your ATM immediately, which means that a complaint has been raised. In most cases, banks do help consumers recover the lost money after proper investigation. Let’s hope, your bank helps you out.
Regards,
You are assuming that criminals need a pin to extract money from your account but they do not, they can do it contactless, and in such cases the customer is blameless and the bank will repay, if they believe you
Hi sir, i wanted to tell you that my fathers bank account has been hacked by someone. he was told by a customer to give a transaction detail and the bank numbers by sending an email to the account. although my dad wasnt sure about the money being transferred to the right person. my dad sent it to another email address which was not of his customer. the hacker took $10000 from the bank account. we have some hopes because it has not yet been 24 hours. please give me a solution!!!! i am eagerly waiting for a reply….
Hi Parth,
You will need to contact the local police and your bank to report this transaction. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to help here.
Regards.
sir if i share my account no. , phone no. , name of acc., name of bank…is it can be used to hack my account…
Hi Kirandeep,
To hack an online bank account, a hacker would require more details than what you have mentioned. However, sharing such details may make you a victim to identity theft.

I used my card at big bazar on 3 April arount 1.14 p.m for payment of bill of rupees 950, on the same day two more transactions are reflecting in my account totalling rupees 65000. I found it on next day i.e 04 April 2015(today) The transaction described as POS purchase and the merchant site is italian. I called SBI helpline and they too behaved in helpless manner, though i’ve changed my pin and reported matter to the police who blamed me for using debit card for payment. What should be my next step? I’ve found it on very nexy day
hello, As i explained the situation in my previous comment, I found that the store from which online shopping has been done through my bank account is in milan, Italy. and its name is ESSELUNGA RUBATTINO. I called the italian store but they said that they are not authorised to favour such requests and it can be processed only if my bank asks them to do so. My bank customer care says contact your branch, branch manager says contact customer care. Even after tracing it within 24 hours i am not able find a way. Plz help
Hi Deepak,
Since you have mentioned here that the merchant seems to be located in Italy, it is clear that the merchant is not the same as the one where you carried out your last transaction. So please ignore my previous comment about approaching that store. In this case, only the bank or police can help you. You can approach the cyber crime cell as well and see what support they can provide.
Best regards.
I used my SBI debit card for Payment at Big Bazar and after that i find 2 more transaction on the same day in my bank account(time not known) The account is debitted and the statement shows POS purchase ESSELUNGA RUBBATINO which clearly shows the merchant site. i contacted my bank and police within 24 hrs but they both seems helpless what should i do??
Hi Deepak,
In your statement is this the same POS purchase detail as the legitimate transaction you had made some time before? If yes, then the fraudulent transaction was definitely held at the store. You need to approach the store manager and talk to him about this and say you will involve the police and file a complaint in that case. If the details are different then there is no way of knowing who has carried out this transaction. In that case, only the police or your bank can help you out. We wish you all the best.
Regards.
No, I’ve never visited the store or used my card there. The Bank customer support says contact your branch, Branch says contact customer support. The police seems clueless about it. Though I’ve lodged a complain where ever required. I doubt that the fraud took place at Big Bazar or through its systems. I contacted the store in italy aswell but they refused to help. I brought the matter to their attention within 24 hrs, What should be my next step?
Dear Sir
This is the recent fraud which has happened with me on 10th Apr 2015. I received a message from ICICI Bank Ltd , debited Rs 52227/- from my Savings Salary account which I never did. I called customer service , they advised transaction has been done in London through Cash Withdrawal. Immediately card blocked. On ten very next day I visited ICICI and explained the scnario. ICICI provided acknowledgement copy of application which I submitted to ICICI. They advised to go to Cybercell , Navi Mumbai. They also provided acknowledgement ..Local Police station has not launched any FIR , they advised taht after investigation only they will be able to file FIR. Is it correct that police is filing any FIR about this?? Please advise me further process to get my money back …

So its not my fault.This message came.You have used your Debit Card linked to Account XXXXXXXX5053 for a transaction of INR 15,027.19 Info.MPS*L OREE DU B on 16-05-2015 20:34:48. Total 33810 deducted from my icici bank using 3 transaction .When I called Icici bank they told me it is done from France. Its not in their hand. So I think Icici bank level security itself is not secure. Fault present there security system itself that’s y hacker easily steal our money. Also they are not able to give solution.
Hi Nabanita,
We are sorry about this and understand what you must be going through. The best people to assist you right now would be the police.

Nice article…will u plz tell me Vin audible this term use for which transaction.. As I haven’t done this n lost my money thrice.n bank is not telling anything n I m not able to find anything on internet..VIN*audible is showing for transaction.. PlZ explain how to find this
Hi Nisha,
It would be hard to tell who this transaction is directed towards. Your bank itself is the best party to give this information. If they are not helping you out, visit your local police station and file an FIR for this loss and then visit your bank with this FIR to convince them. You can also visit the consumer courts to convince your bank to share this information with you.
Regards.
I was on the certain sites a month ago and stopped it and canceled and I found on my bank statement I was charged 50. So I called them and they told me that I’m not with them. I just saw my bank statement and they charged me again another 30. The best thing know is to go to the bank and get another card with a different number on it and explain to them what is going on. (Probiller.com/HD MBI-Probiller).

Hello Sir,
I stay in Pune and I am holding saving account with Axis bank. I got this message just couple of hours back from bank:
Your a/c is debited INR 1939.20 on 25-05-2015 22:34:41 Info:PUR/GLENMORE SERVICE C/BALTIMORE/GLENMORE SERVICE C
I did not do this transaction. When I called in phone banking he mention that it looks like someone has done fraud online transaction. I blocked my debit card and he asked me to go to police station, file FIR and submit copy to home branch and bank will investigate further. Please suggest me if anything else I should do to get my money back. Thanks!
Regards,
Hi Shekhar,
The steps you have taken seem to be correct and that is all you can do right now. It is good that you have immediately blocked the card. If possible, you should consider transferring the money from that account into another account, if the amount involved is high. This will help you get some peace of mind. Beyond that, it is up to the bank and the police to track down the source of this fraudulent transaction from your account.
Regards.
Hi,
In your it looks like the fraudulent transaction was made on gas station (Glenmore Service Center) and its not done online. In this case it is not possible to revert the transaction as the goods have been delivered/used..
Sorry to know about your loss.

Sir I also lost Money of Rs9999 due to the call from Mobikwik.com ..Can I get My Money back….
Hi Mukesh,
Have you contacted your bank regarding this issue? Also, we would advise you to lodge a police complaint if you have not done so.

Hi, Today early morning my account was debited with Rs.20,000 and immediately i contacted Standard Chartered Bank. While i was on call with customer care for blocking my debit card, 3 more transactions happened and before that fellow blocked the card i was debited with a total of Rs.1 Lac. I told Standard chartered that someone has misused the card and told them to reverse the transaction.
I put my all efforts in investigation for continuous 8 hours and found out that initially criminal bought flipkart voucher from GiftBig.com and then redeemed that on Flipkart. He has ordered 2 iphones from flipkart. I persuaded Giftbig & Flipkart to consider my case on cancel the transactions. Since it was sunday, standarchartered bank had not started investigations. Finally after lots of efforts , flipkart agreed to put order on hold and reversed the transaction. Luckily , iphones were not shipped. Now Flipkart has assured me that they will keep it on hold till they hear from my bank.
I have been to police station and officer told me to come with complain tomorrow.
I know person’s mobile number, address and email id which he used with flipkart for order. How much chances i have to get my amount back?? and what further course of action i should take?
You have already done a good job of stopping the transaction at Flipkart. You have full chance of getting your money back. You try to talk to the support of GiftBig.com payment gateway providers and explain your story and get the transaction reverted to your account. They may have to invalidate the vouchers that were issued. For that you may need to get help from your bank. Since it is a debit card it is going to be difficult but still you can try your luck. About reaching out to criminals, you will have to take the help of local police to reach out to the cyber criminal whose contact information you already have.
sir,
hie i am sushil, my atm is with me , there after some one use my atm and withdraw 13,000/- from my bank account how it is possible, i call to icici bank customer care but not response there side and i also compliant in police station. what action should take in this such case.
Hi Sushil,
The actions you have taken are correct. You need to ensure that the complaint has been filed with the police and also your bank. Moreover, see your bank statement and Google the name of the transaction merchant so that you can contact him also for a refund.

Hi Rahul,
We are sorry you lost your money is this manner. We suggest you lodge an official complaint with your local police station and your bank as well. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do here to help you out. However, please remember in the future that you must not share your card details over any strange person over the phone or in person, even if that person claims to be from some legal authority or the bank itself. We hope you manage to successfully get your stolen money back soon.

A hacker used my international debit card and made online purchases but unfortunately I know that after 5months as in our country we don’t have online banking so I don’t have acess to my account I called my bank I found that they blocked the card 2months as they were suspicious of illegal activity on my account and they will do an attempt to return money do you think this will work?
Hi,
We cannot comment on this as it really depends on the bank, the situation of the theft and the amount of money that has been lost. We recommend you follow up with your bank regarding this.

While we cannot guarantee that you will get your money back in this case, here is what you should do. Approach your local police station and file an FIR immediately, if you have not already done so. Speak to the cyber cells and file a complaint with them regarding this case – https://cybercrimecomplaints.com/cyber-crime-cells-india. Lastly, keep following up with eBay to see if they can follow up with this case and help you retrieve your stolen cash. Also tell your bank about this and block your card as soon as you can.

A fraud manipulated my brother and extracted My HDFC Debit Card number with it’s ATM Pin. He then purchased products worth 14000 from different sites like FoodPanda.in, Snapdeal and several others. It took place at 4:30 on 8 August 2015. I have blocked my Debit Card. But what should I do to get my money back? If there is any chance.
Hi Parul,
Here are a few things you can do. Lodge an FIR with your local police station. Share a copy of that FIR with your bank, and with each of these merchants individually. If they are convinced that the transactions are fake, they may consider refunding the money. However, we cannot comment on each scenario as it depends on the situation.
Regards.
Hello Sir,
What if we found out huge number of fraud transactions from our account after 2 weeks. Is there anyway to get our money back?? What should be our approach ? I have lost some thousands rupees. Unable to track. I have found that one transaction was happened at Flipkart … How can I caught that fraud person using Flipkart?
Hi Himanshu,
It really depends on the amount, the time, the frequency and the nature of the fraudulent transactions. The first thing you should do is block your card, then you should contact your bank and tell them about this situation. Then file an FIR with your local police station and also approach Flipkart with this FIR. Hopefully, they will refund your stolen cash but we cannot guarantee that this will happen for sure.
Regards.

Hi Ram,
Please contact your local police station to file an FIR and then contact your bank with this information. While we cannot guarantee that they will ensure you get your money back, these are things you will have to do. Also, in the future never share card details with anybody. No bank employee or legal authority can ask you to do this.
Regards.

A few years ago my husband’s accountant closed my personal account by moving the balance to a joint account I do not have access to. I do not know how the bank allowed him to do that. I questioned it over and over to the bank and to the accountant and to my husband. The bank knows nothing, the accountant doesn’t respond and my husband says to leave it alone. The account had well into six figures in it. Because so much time has gone by I don’t know what I can do, but it still bothers me. I am leaving him over things like this so I guess it doesn’t matter now. It is the principal of it, I suppose. The bank was wrong to let this occur on a signature-only account.
Hi,

can anyone steal my money after knowing my sbi bank account no??? please comment.
Hi Rahul,
No this is not possible. They would need some more information.
Regards.
First of all I would like to thank all of you who have posted on this page to make the public aware of these kinds of frauds/scams and prevent the same happening with others.
In my case, Yesteday (30/11/205) I got a call from person claiming himself to be a member of SBI who needed information for re-issue of my ATM/Debit card. As the person had called me up on my registered number and told me the ATM card number, I didn’t suspect a foul play. He asked me to provide a verification code that would be sent to by phone. Later I got a message with OTP password and I was not suspicious of sharing it over the phone, as bad luck would have it! Few minutes there after Rs 26000/= was debited from my account and I smelled a rat only then. I immediately called up the SBI customer service and blocked the ATM/Debit Card. The transaction details is something like this:
POS 000000000169185 at snapdeal_PayU txn# 113019057563.
As per the direction of the bank, I called up Snapdeal but they replied that they don’t have a transaction with the above number. I am following up with PayUmoney to see if the above is a transaction done through them and if it can be reversed. Does anyone who/what is the Merchant ID looking at the above info ?
How can I find out the Merchant and reverse the above transaction. It happened yesterday 5 PM, so is there any chance of getting the money back ?
Thanks,
Ramesh
Hi Ramesh,
Thank you for sharing this experience. It seems this is a new trick that is being used by scammers to trick people and rob their money. They must have got your phone number and ATM number through some social engineering trick or through some online portal where you conducted some transaction in the past. This is very unfortunate. We hope you have approached your local police station and informed them about this. Also spread the word to your family and friends about this incident and tell them to never share such details with any one over the phone, no matter what they say. This is something that people really need to know to avoid such cases. We cannot comment on whether your money will be refunded to you, so we wish you the best of luck with the recovery process.
Best regards.

Hi Sonu,
That is a huge amount and this is a matter to be highly concerned about. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your questions in detail as this is a matter to be handled by law enforcement agencies. The steps you should take involved filing an FIR with your local police station and sharing the phone number from which your parents were called, visiting the bank with the FIR and requesting them to look into your case and you can also try speaking with the Indian Cyber Cell for more information. We sincerely hope that you are able to retrieve this amount successfully.

Sir,
Someone Hacked My debit card and withdraw 30k from my ATM.They Withdraw cash amount from IDBI bank ATM machine.
ATM card is with me but today when i got msg from bank that ‘x’ amount is debited from your account i contacted toll free no and block the card.
Please guide me what is the process to recover amount or to find thief and how it is possible to withdraw cash amount from ATM though they dont have my card??
Hi Dhiraj,
We are sorry to hear about your misfortune. As you have already blocked your card, the next step is to lodge a police complaint. Also, take regular followups with the bank so that they can help you find a solution to the problem. In most cases, scammers clone ATM cards by stealing the information present on the magnetic strip. The most common way this happen is through a fake card reader installed illegally at ATMs or card machines at merchant’s shops.
Regards,

Hi Swati,
We are sorry to learn about this misfortune of yours. Have you contacted the bank regarding this? Every ATM has a camera on it so the bank officials ca investigate if the person who withdrew the money was you or not. So, kindly speak to your bank and explain the situation to them. Hopefully, they will be able to help you out.

Hi,
I have already posted my case on 2nd of oct 2015 about fraud money transfer. I have filed the FIR and also complained in HDFC bank. From that time bank people are saying they are investigating the case. Now i don’t have any hope that i will recover my money.
Can u suggest me any way to recover my money. Can I go for consumer forum for this incident. It is responsibility of bank to provide safe banking to customers.
Please suggest some way.
Regards
Pawan Kumar
Hi Pawan,
If you are not getting any respite from your bank, then going to the consumer court would be a viable step to take.

We never lost our debit card anywhere and bankbook is with us only. We have not done an online purchase or transaction. But 20000 debited from my fathers bank IOB account. Please me know is there any possibility to withdrawn the amount without using debit card and also confirm can we recover this amount by reaching out the IOB bank.
Hi Vijayalakshmi,
We cannot comment on this as it depends on a case to case basis and what all information you can submit to your bank. But yes, you should definitely visit your bank to see what they make of this situation and what assistance they can give you.
Regards.
My fathers SBI bank debit card was stolen from the safe locker of his house by the thieves who broke in when no one was at home. The thieves used it immediately and withdrew 40000/- which is the days max. limit. When we got the message on his mobile we immediately blocked it. and since the card was not with him, we checked if the house is broken and it was found to be the case. He has never shared the PIN with anyone and it was not written anywhere in the house which was broken.
I wonder how the thieves could withdrew this money so soon after stealing the same and what next steps we can taken.
We are making a FIR for the lost card and the bank has confirmed the withdrawal from a location away from the theft location. Can we get out money back after checking the CCTV footage of the ATM and also looking at the FIR?
Hi Amol,
Sorry to hear about this incident and the theft of your money. We cannot comment on whether or not the bank return this money. They view each case individually, and no one really knows on what basis they decide. The best you can do is collect as much information and proof as possible, and present a compelling case to the bank about this. All the best.
Best Regards.
This fraud happened with me also..unknown no.called and asked for atm card info.and said your a/c will be closed and card will be blocked if info.is not given immediately and when next day i reached atm to withdraw by a/c was debited with 10310 rupees.Most rubbish thing is that his no.is on and police authorities didn’t took any action.
Hi,
I hold a salary account with axis bank. On 28-03-2016 someone withdrawn 30,000/- rupees from this account through an ATM in Mumbai. I live in Baglore and I also have my debit card with me. This money I got it from my friends to pay my debts. Now I am left with 54 rupees.
Bank people blocked my card today(29-03-2016), and raised complaints and asked me to file a case in local police station.I have done the same and submitted the acknowledgment.
Now I want to know will the money will be refunded, as the bank told it will take some time to investigate this issue. I am very much worried and in a worst economical stage. Please help me.

Today a fraud caller called me on behalf of sbi bank n took all my money frm my a/c his mobile number is 95933858760 the number belongs to west bengal
I have also been victim of phishing phone call … while filling up form online for AIIMS MBBS entrance and fee payment confirmation not processed within 24 hours, then I lodged a complaint on AIIMS complaint forum. then some one called me giving my personal details so as to believe that he was from AIIMS. then he asked for my debit card details to refund my fee amount so that I could re-pay the fee to complete the form submission. I resisted couple of times but he convinced me that for online payment four-five details are required whereas he was only asking my ATM Pin … that too by new style (viz giving me three four numbers adding with PIN and let me know the total) I argued with him with regard to not providing my details. But I don’t know what happened to me when he black-mailed me in the name of my child’s not being able to take the exam … Thereafter I was emptied by 20,000/- which I reported to bank immediately. Bank blocked my account within half an hour of the loot. I also lodged an FIR in a week with police station. I was lucky enough to get my money back within 21 days. I was impressed with bank and police’s action.
however, this happiness turned evil when in another two weeks, 20,000/- was again withdrawn illegally. This time ATM was blocked and case for issue of new PIN number was with bank. I again complained to Bank branch, Regional manager, Central manager and police station. I thereafter, got Rs. 3492/- back but again Rs. 10,000/- withdrawn for the third incident. Total 27000/- loss to me .. bank and police both are unable to even replying me for once since the begining of the case two months back.
what to do next.. planning for RTI query for day to day action and progress at Bank level and why I was not given a single written reply from any level of my approach ?
kindly guide me what else could be done in this case

I think I was scammed by a company called magnum binary options. I was asked to provide my credit card information. I did..I didn’t hear from them in a few day so I called my bank and asked them.to block my card. The money wasn’t removed immediately. A few days later I called my bank again for an update, the money was removed and it was more than the amount for the services. Now I’m worried that they might be able to make future withdrawal even though the account is block because they have my card information. Is this possible?
Hi Krystal,
It is less likely for someone to use your credit card account, if it is blocked. However, your bank would be able to provide more clarity on this matter.

Dear Sir
Since 1 year i want to recover my Rs.25000 from axis bank and the details is given below pls. help me to get my money back
Dear concerned officer,
This is Ajay Kumar Dubey, account holder of Axis Bank, for more than last five years. I regret to inform you that
the impression I had with Axis bank is no more valid due to the incident
happened to me on 2nd May 2015.
On that day, someone transferred Re 1 (seems a trial)and subsequently
transferred 25000 rupee from my account to …. Unfortunately, there was no
one time password was received in order to execute the transaction (which
is supposed to be the procedure) or I received a sms about the transaction
on immediate basis(On normal course, it is received) . To my surprise, I
received a sms about the transaction after five hours.
Since then I am in touch with Axis bank team and running between pillar and
post . No one is even bother to respond to my queries. Since I got
frustrated, decided to go further( as a salary class person, I cannot afford
to lose such a big amount). On this regard I seek an advice from National
consumer disputes redressal commission and will go by their advice.
For your ready reference mail sent to ncdrc is as below
Considering the last five years relation I have with Axis bank, thought of
bringing in to your notice.
Regards
Ajay Kumar Dubey.

Hi Shailendra,
Blocking your ATM and having a new ATM PIN issued should be good enough to protect your account. However, we would recommend you to have a word with your bank about this matter so that they can provide better clarity.
Regards,
Thank for the info.
I called the bank helpline number. He was saying it is enough for securement of your account.
Can I get I believe 30$ put back on my card I believe the person that has that phone n number is putting money in it I no longer want that number to use my card just got a text stating they used my card no idea who it is
I have been asked to send bank card to someone online to receive a donation.with pin . But my account has 0 balance so what could happen to my account if no money in it. ..
Hi,
If your bank account has no money in it, then you are safe against any robbery. However, in the future, your details can be used against you by the attacker.

Hallo I have a problem and need your help.
On 06/16/2016 I´ve been picketpocketed.
I was traveling in tramway in Prague,Czech republic.After I discovered my wallet was missing, I ran to the nearest shop , found someone from who I could call to the banks to block all my cards.I made a couple of phone calls. During that time,I phoned to my Slovak bank .He withdrew the Money 3 times from my another Norwegian bank. Soon after the first call, i called to my Norwegian bank to make sure no transaction was done.But it was too late. The pickpocket made unauthorized credit card withdrawal.He withdrew cca 800 Euro.
I was desperate.I have no idea how he knew my PIN code.
Than I went to the police station to make a report.I gave the police any and all information I had that might help them to locate the card thief.But Details of transactions I have had the opportunity to see up after four days.
After 4 days I got all information about unauthorized credit card transactions. I answered several detail questions, finally they typed up a summary of the incident reported. They asked me to sign it, I did. Police are working with the bank to obtain video surveillance of when the offender used the stolen card at area ATM’s.
My card was insured.
I have to fill out the document about „transaction complaint“ send them all the documents I got from police and than write them my situation what happened.
I would like to ask you for some advice.
how to formulate the text to be the most convincing.My Norwegian bank said,Its not needed to translate them the Czech document from Police.They said I should send all them as they are.But now I have to write them something.But I need something to be profi.
I would be grateful for everything.Thank you.!

Sir,
On 24-06-2016, I made a complaint with IRCTC for some refund on account of cancellation of ticket.
Just after 5 minutes I got a mobile phone call from 91 7281977287 from Rahul Kumar Gupta (as stated whether right or wrong) saying that my refund will be made to me and I should tell him my Bank Account No. from which I paid money to IRCTC. I told him that the Account No is already available with IRCTC through which I am getting refund. I refused to give him my account No. At that time I was in office and got busy in my work.
After some time I noticed that some illegal transactions have been made from my saving bank Account. I immediately Blocked my Debit Card through PNBs help Line and complained about six transaction amounting to Rs. 5000,2500,9999,4900,5000,5000&1119.50, total 33518.50 and obtained Sr Nos, as under:

So far I have got no reply. On contacting PNB Help Line I was told this & that. No one informed me any thing except that they have booked my complaint.
In the evening of 24th onwards I am getting SMS from VK-SBGMBS stating that ” Your wallet xxxxxx4102(My mobile No.) is debited for Rs 1900/-on 24/06/2016 account linked to mobile 7759044591 credited IMPS Reg. No 617414453039.

Similar SMSs are received for Rs.60/-, 2000/-, 1850/-,50/ -,1000/- ,2000/-,5000/-,1900/-, 5000/- .
I have no connection with SBI Wal. Infact I heard this name for the first time.
It is therefore requested to investigate the matter & arrange to let me know the transaction made out of my SB A/C. No.0153000100831224, with complete details.
Any other information required will be submitted.

Hello Sanjay,
I really appreciate that you are helping people on giving the right advises.
Today my account was hacked and total amount of Rs. 85,000 got debited from my CITI bank SB account on various transactions. Most of the transactions were made to “Airtel” and “PAYTM”. I logged in a complaint to CITI bank within 24 hours and CITI bank people say it will take 48 hours to do the investigation. I am very much disappointed and scare on loosing my money since it is huge.
I request you to please guide me on how do I need to proceed further so that I can recover my money.
Your advise is most appreciated!
Thanks,
Nishant

I did transaction for online product in USA without giving my pin and otp 10321 rd were deducted from my bank ..how to recover this am out from the fraud websites suggesti on 0lz
Mr. Katkar,
On the 23rd of June 2016, a Rs. 15,005 transaction was made from my Canara Bank SB account. The debit card was used to make the transaction with a merchant in the US. There were no provisions for net or mobile banking on the card (also i haven’t used the card in over a year), i didn’t receive any notification regarding the same. I found out about the transaction only this month. The bank statement lists the transaction as PP*KEILASFASHIHOUSTONTXUS. An internet search for the merchant has turned up no clues. Are there any remedies or chances that the money can be recovered?
My husband purse and mobile stolen somebody when he got to know about this he immedieatly block ATM but till that somebody already withdraw money 40000 from ATM police just inward the complaint later when then know about withdraw they told to go at cyber cell ….my question is that is really cyber cell people will find the person ?

Hi,
On 14th September,2016 there were two online purchases from my debit card which i was not making. Luckily I was able to recover all my money back!! 🙂
The card was with me the whole time so I knew something fishy was up and immediately blocked the card. I called the bank and reported the issue and registered a complaint to my local police station. I got a response from the bank saying they need 4 days to investigate. Meantime I started my own digging. I was able to know who were the merchants to whom the money was credited to as in the bank statement the merchant name was displayed as part of the transaction ID. I contacted both the merchants, one based in USA and another based in Honk Kong. The merchant from USA told me the order placed was declined and my money will be refunded which i have got already but the merchant from Honk Kong didn’t respond. So finally I tracked down their facebook page and posted on their wall so they will be forced to contact me. Finally when they did contact me they crossed checked the information after which they have initiated my refund and stop the order from reaching the culprit!!. I was also able to get the shipment address of the culprit and when i did a little bit of digging on that information I saw this person was already on the badbuyer’s list, reported for purchase from stolen/hacked credit cards and Debit cards!!!. I have now registered a complaint with International crime Complaint center(IC3) as the culprit is US based. I am waiting for contact from them. My tips for a person who is a victim for online card fraud:
1. As mentioned in the post, TIME IS CRUCIAL. The faster you act better. Block all the cards on the account that is hacked.
2. Contact the respective bank and get the procedures done
3. Don’t wait for a saving grace, be your own saving grace. Be persistent. Try to track the transaction ID that shows up on your bank statement/SMS. If the merchant name is not provided then ask the bank for the details. Maybe they might have.
4. Contact the merchants as soon as possible and stop the order from being dispatched!!. If the order is shipped then the merchant might not agree to refund the amount
5. And finally prevention is better than cures.So, I have decided to open an account which is specific to only online purchase. Will the balance can be kept to bare minimum and transfer money as and when required and use it immediately. So even if the account is hacked they wont have much to take. I have decided to open an account in national banks as they have low minimum balance requirement. In my case I have a Punjab national bank general account where the minimum is just 1000.Rs.
I wish good luck to all those facing this issue. I hope you can get your hard earned money back 🙂
To the author of this article- Great work!!. Motivated me to take matters into my own hands 🙂
Please i need your help. My account was hacked and the hacked made out billpay check to someone. We do i do if the bank if refusing to give the name and address on the person the checks were mae out to..???]
Please help me….
Last week i had a new Debit card issued on the Wednesday. I used this card once only to take cash from an ATM.
Thursday and Friday i tried to book a holiday online with Expedia (used them lots of time with no problem)When i got to payment it refused to accept my details saying that my details were wrong.
On Saturday i went to my bank and told them and the Assistant told me that i need a special key to use my account online.
She gave me the key and set up the account.
when i got home i tried again to book online but no use at all. I checked my account later and found that 4 transactions had taken place for over $2,000 each and many more were refused.
i did not get an opportunity to use my new code and everytime was told that my transactions had not worked.
I stopped the card as soon as i knew but it was too late to save nearly $9,000.
I went back to the bank on the Monday (3 hours each way in a taxi) The Assistant said that my card had been used for these transactions and many more had been tried and refused.
She did not offer any help at all and although my Spanish is not great i could understand what she was saying which was basically “bad luck”
i have written to the bank and await their reply. do you think i have any chance of getting my money bank ?
I cannot believe that they refused me payment but seemed to dish it out easy to a hacker.
I did not use my pin number or even the code that she gave me because i could not get that far.

Yes. I am presently handling a case of fraudulent ATM withdrawal from an account of my close relative to the tune of INR 1.96 LACs. The Hacker made ATM withdrawal in CNY [China] currency while my relative was handling a moderately serious domestic issue at Bengaluru and completely ignored all SMS alerts. By the time she realized it was too late.The banker was reported and we filled up the necessary DISPUTE FORM. We have also lodged a Police Complaint. We are waiting for the end results.
Sir I used mobile banking app lota
I send money to another account but transaction failed and money debited from mu bank account. Now plz advise what shouldi do..?
What if someone hacked into my bank account and deposited some money and then 6 months later called the bank and froze my account until all of my deposits goes to the hecker. What should I do in a case like that?
My sister is tricked by a vishing cal from this number 7764097297, she shared all the credentials of her ATM card and immediately online transaction has been done through SBI buddy. Could money be recovered? We have lodge a complaint in police station.
I blocked my debit card and Internet banking after the fraud. So should I assume to be safe. Now what should be my next steps. I have a new card with me.
A couple months back I had some really embarrassing cyber issues at my office because of the fraudulent act of my assistant and my bank account was freezed, I was hepless until I got this hacker’s contact from my bestfriend to help me resolve this problem. He cleared my doubts and performed beyond what I expected. Yay! I’m very happy…now I can take care of my 2 kids and be the best mom for them. He is very selective so tell him I gave recommendation. You can get to him at (computerworm.hacker@hotmail.com)
My dad got a call on his mobile stating call from IOB asking to disclose the debit card no. he dint, then they informed last 4 digit and asked to confirm, he didnt then they told the full account no. of the savings account and asked to confirm, he said yes, they asked him to hold on line and the call got disconnected after 10mins. From the call time in the next 30mins 10 transaction each valued at 30,000 went on. Next day we approached bank, they said the transaction is done online using debit card detail and debit pin no. (there was no OTP), bank is not owning responsibility, we have given case through cyber cell. we sent mail to Vodafone who was the beneficiary of the payment (for Vodafone Mpesa accounts the money was transferred), we complained the bank with in 14hrs and registered complaint with police within 24hrs, still no hopes.
Bank says there is no need for OTP if its verified by PIn, the card was never used on online previously, then how the details were known. RBI regulation states OTP is must for online transaction to be processed, but the bank denies it.
I bought tshirts using my credit card in flipkart after that same day someone tried in flipkart for buying products many times through my card information but unfortunately the couldn’t buy since OTP myself got.
I raised an issue to FLIPKART they said someone theft the details but we couldn’t find who did since transaction not successfull.
I asked how you are saying like this my card information thefted when using your site, you have to investigate and let me know. They are saying we can’t do.
I complaint the same in bank side too they also say same thing.
How can I take legal action against them?

Hi. My wife had a failed withdrawal from my bank account using a visa card. The money wasn’t dispensed from the atm but it was debited from my account. My bank said it was a failed transaction due to insufficient funds. I think this is because she tried to withdraw the funds too soon after I transferred the money into the account connected to the card.
I have a form to complete. I need to know the bank name and atm location. These are the details I have from the docket:
LOCATION: P-MANGLD
TERMINAL ID: 301772
BANK CODE: 27360608
RECEIPT NO.: 673676
APPLICATION ID: A0000000031010
RESPONSE CODE: 103
Can anyone help me find out the bank that owns this atm machine, and the exact machine it was?
If you can I will be very grateful.

On Friday the 21st of oct, I finished my exams and wanted to go for my vacation very early on Saturday morning, and as such was expecting 3000 pesos from a friend, so after my exams in the evening I slept for a while and when I woke up, I went to the ATM to check my account, what I saw was below what I was expecting, its just 1000 pesos, so I called him and told him why only 1000 pesos, he told me he has not send it, that he forget that I should jst wait for a while, that he will send it, that I should wait maybe after 20mins I should check, I went as he said. On reaching there I saw about 24,000 pesos, I called him and ask why that much??? He told me he never did, and beside he is having issues with his network. He told me maybe someone is mistaken my account to be someone else account, he said he will contact me if he send the money, meanwhile i withdrew the money, maybe a friend mistakenly send it so when he or she ask I will jst give, I waited for his call, but didnt get, I try calling him, his number wasnt going through. So I went to see if he did send since I cant get him. But this time I saw another set of money all in one night. I withdrew all ranging to abt 50k. I kept the money and went for vacation. While am there I called one or two people to ask if they did send in money, non said they did. I waited if some will call to claim no one did, so very worried about the situation, I cut my vacation short, came back to my home on Wednesday the 26th of oct, I arrived late so early in the morning on Thursday, I went to the bank with the 50k peso as it was withdrawned, explained my experience of how it happened, they checked and told me it came from one Harrison plaza, i said it came from a source which I didn’t have idea of they should resend the money back to where it came from. They deposited the money in my account, took my contact number and said if they resend it they will contact me, from that day till now have gone to that bank more than four times, the money is still in my account. What they did was to freeze the 50k so I can hav access to my normal money, what else should I do in this case ? Have been waiting and waiting but to no avail, I emailed there head office yesterday but haven’t gotten a report from them even. All this is happening in the Philippines
Sir, My sister is being victim of such act, yesterday its still less then 24hrs.
But problem is that, in the bank statement there is only POSxxxxxxxxxxxx number, so in such case how can we found actual merchant.
Hi Kamal,
Have you tried contacting the bank for this matter?

Sir
My grand mother has an account with SBH and she had a debit card for the same which she never used. Amount was kept for emergency purposes due to her old age and so not checked frequently. This year May when she tried to withdraw some money, it was seen that in May last year an amount of 2.5 lakhs was withdrawn from different ATMs. Card is withus only. When contacted the bank they told msg was gone to a phone number which does not belong to her. Further she never applied for phone banking also, but some phone number was written with different hand writing. Bank rejected the claim telling that my grand mother is transacting in her account with the help of her son. since she parted the possession of the card they will not accept to enquire. Police complaint also did not help. What is our next recourse. Pl guide since it is the amount saved by grand mother who is 79 year old for her old age .

Hi ,
I checked my account by logging to net banking and found that my credit card has been used for 37500 transaction both online as well as offline. I tried to find out my card but realised I had lost the card. I immediately reported to bank and filed an FIR with police but the bank told me that all the transactions are done via PIN and I didn’t received a single message about the transactions. Now the bank said the police will enquire from them to proceed but this procedure is long. The first transaction was made on 2 and then on 5 then on 8 Dec. I realised this on 10 Dec. What to do now. Please help.
credit card Transaction is an illegal transaction as I received a fraud call from a person claiming to be a SBI representative. He asked me to share my card & PIN details also shared OTP unluckily. Though I have blocked the below mentioned credit card but transaction is already processed. I need your immediate intervention to block the payment to Paytm or let me know if there is any other way to get my money back. Also share me the details for Paytm account where the amount has been transferred. I am in process to raise a police complaint for the same.
Hi,
In this case, getting in touch with Paytm, your bank and the police will help you.

On 30.11.2016 some one has made three purchases from Vodafone using my debit card without my knowledge. The debit card was/is very much with me. My bankers icici bank has me to claim the refund from Vodafone. Are they corrected.
Thank you very much for this information. My father who is a retired sr. citizen got scammed by people calling him impersonating bank officials and got his info. Immediately after the call they made one big transaction using his card. As we were not aware how to handle the situation, we blocked the card, informed the bank and filed a complaint to the police. After reading this blog, we sent a request to the online portal where the transaction was made and explained the situation to them and they were very cooperative and in few days we got our money back. Had it not been for this blog, we would still be sitting and waiting for action on our complaint and couldn’t have avoided paying off the transaction.
Hi Shrikanth,
Thank you for the appreciation. We are glad to know that this post helped you and your father.

Thank you for this very useful and important information.
I am a recent victim of phishing were a fraudster called me saying that she is calling from the HDFC payback points department and that my points are going to get lappsed/expired. She offered me a cashback of 4999 and said that the same cannot be transfered to my HDFC Credit card account rather I can encash the points with my debit card.
I fell into the trap and made the mistake of sharing my card details along the OTP which she calimed was generated from her IVR system and not the bank.
She immediately changed the 3D secure pin for my debit card and made 5 transactions to Idea Money and Airtel Money of total Rs 25000. Each transaction amounting of Rs5000.
As soon as I got the debit sms’s from the bank I realized that I have been fooled and asked her about why the money is debiting from my account instead of the cashback being credited. She imediately cut the call and her phone was then switched off.
I immediately blocked all my Debit / Credit cards of all banks including Netbanking and informed the Bank’s Fraud department of what has happened.
I have even raised a transaction dispute form with the bank.
I event sent email to Idea Money and Airtel Money customer care email addresses hours after the incident happened but there is no reply.
I also went to local police station to file a complaint but they refused giving illogical reasons and blaming me for the lose.
Now I am just praying to GOD that some show this transaction gets reversed back to my account.
This is a lesson learnt for me as to how fraudsters can lure you with offers or threaten you with denial of service or service expiry and get your cards details from you.
But you should never be pressurized by such calls and should never attend such calls because bank will never call you and ask for your details.

Hi Manoj,
You have taken the necessary steps. What you can do now is the following:
1. Check your bank statement and find out the transaction IDs and name of the merchants where these payments were done.
2. Once you are able to find the merchants, email them or call them and explain the situation.
3. If these merchants provide you with any details, share these with the Police and the Bank.
Unfortunately in most cases, money lost to such fraud cases are difficult to recover. What we can do is take regular followups with the Police.
Regards,

Nice blog, thanks for sharing this informative blog.
Sir,
My father got a fake call from a person today representing himself as a Bank Manager with SBI. My father has a salary account with SBI. The person pretending to be the bank personal convinced my father with details like Card number, pan card number, Home address, last transaction etc. and then asked for OTP which my father gave him , there were a total of 6 transactions that happened for a total of 6 OTP amounting upto 17800, and then call was disconnected by the Spammer/hacker.
When my father checked for messages immediately after the call he realized that he has been scammed big time and immediately rushed to Bank from his office and when updated his Passbook he found out that the Transactions were made to transfer the funds to a Paytm Wallet Account.
Remedy measures – As of now after 4 hours of the incident ( approx. 12 pm 5th April 2017 ) My father along with my mother and brother have changed there ATM PIN and Net banking Login passwords.
Question now is – what do we do next ..?
Is there a way we can ask SBI to track down the transaction details and may be get the details from PAYTM to which account the funds were transferred and may be further transferred to another PAYTM Wallet/Bank Account..?
What does the Policy Authority will do..? Can they trace down the Caller and location may be and get the details from Operator to which ID it belongs to or registered to.?
Update: I became a spoof caller and pretended that I got a call earlier today and wanted to know about the Offer and called the Hacker and Look at his Confidence , he said currently office has been closed, but we will call you tomorrow to get the details.
Please help anyone

My experience was similar to this. I was contacted by a particular Mr. Fortross who posed as a Investment broker for Zulu options. I went on to invest a total of $489,000 into 9 accounts as advised. When it was time for withdrawal i was unablt to perform any withdrawal, I thought my life has ended until i was referred to sokolov.swiftrecovery(at)gmail(dot)com…… They have been able to help me recover 90% of my funds as of last week. The scammers are all out for our wealth, stay guided and have a proof of your of transaction. You still have a shot at getting your funds back!…. I just had to strengthen my faith in God never to fall victim of these scammer.
