Blindly acting upon a message from an untrustworthy source cost a retired army colonel dear as he ended up losing ₹1.49 lakh from his bank account.
Complainant Gurkirat Singh, 62, a resident of Sector-2, Panchkula, said that on October 16, he got a message on his phone that his electricity bill of the last month had not been paid. The message also stated that if he did not pay the bill immediately, his connection will be disconnected by midnight.
There was also a mobile number where he was asked to call in case of any queries.
