Yesterday i got a fake call from pakistani number ([protected],[protected] names Ravi, Vijay and amount trnsfrd to Rohit Singh) they told me some PUk no. to check wether it is the same number, if the number matches then i have won the lottery of 50 Lacs + a grand i10, i followed the instructions and i saw the same puk no. mentioned on the sim then they convince me to trnsfr 25000 but i refused, but again they told me to trnsfr 5000 when i trnsfrd they again told that payment has been stoped for clearing cz u haven't submitted the whole amount and told to trnsfr another 20000 i refused and then phone disconnected, no calls again.In the evening i tried that no. and in true caller first it showed that the no. is Pakistani but after sometime again i tried the name dispalyed on true caller was Robena and destination is from Kolkatta and they ansewred my call and abused in different languages. Please do aware from these types of frauds and it's a humble request to our consumer forum to look into these daily increased frauds ASAP
