[Resolved]  Delhi Development Authority (DDA) — reward points

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Someone 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.
