Apoorva Singh, using an ATM at the South Indian Bank's Mayur Vihar Phase-1 branch, fell prey to the scheme after her debit card became stuck in the machine...
Singh, in a series of tweets, described how she noticed a phone number displayed near the ATM..
After receiving instructions from the person, Apoorva dialed the provided number and was advised by the 'agent' to remotely switch off the ATM and retrieve her card when it displayed an 'out of service' message..
Aproova was further troubled by the absence of security guards at the ATM premises and the presence of a misleading contact number supposedly belonging to an agent inside the ATM room..
If your card gets stuck, contact your bank directly using the verified phone number on the back of your card or their official website...
