New Delhi, Sept. 22 -- A man was duped of Rs.1 lakh in a fake credit card scam. The victim in his complaint said he had received a call from a person who introduced himself as an employee of a private bank, PTI reported.

He said the man said he had been issued a credit card and it needed to be activated. The caller tricked the complainant into sharing a one-time password (OTP), following which his phone was hacked and Rs.1 lakh was siphoned off," the officer said.

Police traced the money to an account in a Panipat bank and found that the accused had earlier been booked in a similar fraud case in Delhi's Dwarka.

He did not operate the scam alone, and there were many involved in generating and selling fake credit cards.
