Man calls travel firm, finds hacker
Online swindlers cloned the SIM (subscriber's identity module) card of a travel agency and duped one of its customers o RS 12,000 on the pretext of booking his travel ticket.
The complaint went to the cyber crime cell and the SSP's public window. Daya Ram, the employee of Maharaja Travels in Sector 22, said a customer had come to the office on August 15 to say that he had called the agency at 8558876985 and asked for booking a ticket to Amirite. The receiver sent him a web link on his mobile phone and told and him to do a small transaction of RS 20 as a test.
He transferred Rs 20 and found RS 12,000 debited from his account, later. Daya Ram told police that even he had called o that number and found a stranger on the other end. The call went to that number even after he had removed this SIM from the agency's handset. The Company's official mobile phone seemed to have been hacked.
