एसपी ने बताया कि अधिकांश ऐसे मामले प्रकाश में आते हैं कि खाते में लेनदेन पर दो प्रतिशत कमीशन की लालच में लोग अपना खाता खुलवाकर एटीएम, चेक व बैंक की पूरी किट दे देते हैं। Not only this, the SIM containing the mobile number is also handed over to cyber criminals. Therefore, be careful and do not get caught in any greed.
