☝️We change the mobile number, so what is our loss.
Recently a woman had Rs.8,16,000/- disappeared from her bank account.
*How exactly did this happen?*
1. The mobile number which the woman had linked with her bank account. She did not use that number for 4 years.
2. But did not inform the bank to delete it from her KYC.
3. Now, that unused mobile SIM number is closed by the mobile company and given to another person.
4. According to the mobile company policy, if any number is not used by you for 6 months, it can be given to someone else.
5. Now the regular incoming SMS of the bank started coming to the person who got the new number. what did he do So he accessed the bank's site through a link. And wrote *forget password*. Now the OTP of the link from the bank went to the number in his possession for authentication, he completed the formalities and happily withdrew all the money through internet banking.
So, if you have linked your old number which you are not using or closed anywhere, what is it with your bank account, you have to go to the bank and delink that number as per banking rules.
Please keep the above in mind. Your unused mobile number for six months can be reallotted to someone else.
This fact may be new information to many of us.
It is very important. Think carefully.
