I, K S Vasudevan, Hyderabad received a call yesterday call from icici bank caller stating that my limit is going to enhance and need my card details. Since I do not have the card details, they asked me to keep ready the details tomorrow. Today dated[protected] i have received a call from Devaraj with his phone no.+[protected] not less than 5 to 6 times and asking me to give card details for enhancement of limit. During busy tenure without thinking I have given full card details including CVR number. Then he has given me one time password for debiting to my card and then the caller said first this amount will be debited to your account and the same statement you will see the reversal as points redeemed the caller was so authoritative, and made be believe that he is calling from bank and asked me card number and safety number yet the reversal like a fool. I told him the details as required and he has sent first one time password and the same has not been worked to him and again the caller told me that one more one time password will be sent to your mobile and sent the same and debited Rs.6999/- Later one Mr.Sharma has called from his no.[protected] and informed me that AMTEC ENGINEER's account has been credited Rs.6999/- and you are eligible for giving me some gift vouchers and Lotto Shoes and a Ray Ban Coolers for Rs 6999/-which is equivalent to the points to be redeemed. Then I have enquired with ICICI bank customer care about the fact and my enhancement of limit to my card. Then they said we will not ask your credit card number and secret pin for enhancement of limit and the information which you have received is false and you have disclosed the matter where cheating has been taken place and the transaction taken place is nothing but fraudulent.

the same thing happen to me... from the same number... take some action on the fraud ppl...
Exactly same thing happened to yesterday May 14th 2014. Like a fool I too shared everything. As mentioned above the caller was so authoritative, that I believed that it was a call from the bank. Mine was a ICICI bank card. She also read out my current statement and gave me the last transaction details with which I believed her. I know I was a fool to do this and share details to anyone. But my concern is when these things are happening why can't we stop it. Why can't we take action against these fraud people. I spoke to the customer care and they said that I have lodge a complaint with cyber crime police station. Did anyone do something like this. Can we all raise our voice against such crimes.
I received a call from the same number 5 minutes back as they were pretended to be from ICICI bank and wanna increase my credit limit...I suspected the call from the begining but was furious how they handle the call. They started enquiring about my credit limit, phew !!! i lost my cool and blasted them resulting in immediate disconnect of the call.
Now i am just furious where to report about these non-sense calls...My suspect is such though i did not reveal the details talking to them for few min my help them in scanning my mobile with the s/w available in the market to steal the important financial information if any that had been stored in the mobile.This can be of any sort like having the details of the payment in gmail...which is configured default while configuring the Android phones.

Plz help...same happened with me...plz guide//...will FIR work
This company is registered in New Delhi...if togather we all raise FIR..I think it will work..
Same has been repeadted with me. I have wrriten mail to ICICI Bank and they responded very smartlly..But my concern is how come they got my 16 digit Card no, my CVV no, Expiry Date no. etc.. This all has been shared by ICICI Bank...I am ready to share my mail communication with ICICI Bank if required... I need my 6999/
hi i have also been dubbed on 6th feb the same way...and it was my icici card ...but surprisingly when i called ICICI bank they are telling that we need to go and generate a FIR and give complaint in the police station, this gives a clear message that the bank do not want to take any action on a vendor who is able to miss use our entire database with the credentials...and it is so unfortunate that people have been dubbed by the same person several months and no action has been taken against them...by the bankers..because of this action it leaves us with a doubt that are they hand in glove wiht these companies...
Still calls are coming from the [protected] from Amtec Engineers about the Gift coupons... Within 24 hours complaint will be resolved... But the above fraud was started from 2014 still continuing...
Same has been repeated with my friend on 21.03.2015. Call came from [protected] with name Payal Sharma with employee code 335897 about the redeem of credit card points, same story repeated and connected the call to the [protected] about the discount coupons... At last 6999/- deducted... Does any body got any gift coupons or filed FIR or bank had blocked the account.
Good News to all.. When Amtec Engineer calls about the conformation of Address to send the courier. Just intimate them about the cancellation of the product. My friend had received the money back once he had informed to Amtec engineer about the cancellation of the product. Or please return the product to the same address of the Consignee...
Moneyy will be refundedd..

omeone called me at my office when I was
busy and said that I have 7000 points that’s needs to be redeemed, and since
the financial year is closed, they are giving me a grace chance to redeem the
same before April end. They told me that
they are calling me from HDFC the No is [protected].
Just then a few days back I received a mail from HDFC that I have some points
to be redeemed, but since I did not know how to do the redeeming I left it out.
But when I received this call and straight away from HDFC I immediately
recalled my mail, and I correlated my mail with this call and said ok I will
redeem the points. The caller said that a Co Called AMTEC ENGINEERS will call and they will offer me some products. I
said ok. Within 10 mts I received a call from [protected] and again from +[protected] and they said they are
giving me some gift vouchers and Loto Shoes and a Ray Ban Coolers for Rs 6999/-
which is equivalent to the points to be redeemed.
Then the caller said first this amount
will be debited to your account and in the same statement you will see the
reversal as ‘Points redeemed’. The
caller was so authoritative, and made be believe that he is calling from the
Bank. He asked me my card no and the safety no. at the reverse. Like a
fool I told him that.
The caller also told me some stories and
said don’t reveal anything to the company just say, I will pay. Because this is
from the Bank and the company should not know that you are redeeming the
points. While this conversation is going
on he said now you will receive a confirmation message from the bank and just
like that I received a message as follows and before I could read and
comprehend I received around 8 to 9 calls. I believed the SMS with HDFC on it.
I
have not received any gift or voucher or any package or parcel till date

Exactly same thing happened to me in April 2015, Like a fool I too shared everything. As mentioned above the caller was so authoritative, that I believed that it was a call from the bank. Mine was a Kotak bank card. She also read out my current statement and gave me the last transaction details with which I believed her. But my concern is when these things are happening why can't we stop it. Why can't we take action against these fraud people. I spoke to the customer care and they said that I have lodge a complaint with cyber crime police station. Did anyone do something like this. Can we all raise our voice against such crimes.
same thing happend for me too. So, why cannot the amount be redeemed back to the customer account whne a complaint is lodged becuased they cheated and swiped the amount making them unawre. They think that employees will have no time and will not care if 7000 is lost.
