Kbc — Lottery issued from Vodafone Sim

Address:	Thane, Maharashtra, 421301
Website:	fake lottery call in name of KBC

Hello All, I received a call from [protected] yesterday @ 17:46 stating that I have Won a Lottery of 25, 000, 000 from KBC on basis of my vodafone SIM. Person name Vijay was calling from some call center and was talking in moderate hindi language. He asked my name and my father's name and district and upon providing these details he said that his MD Rajkumar will call me in the morning for processing my amount. I knew there was something fishy, he asked me whether I want the amount in Cash or Cheque, I asked him to transfer it to my Citibank account number, Since the Citibank do not reveal any personal information to anyone I specifically gave them this account number. Next day, Monday morning @ around 8 am I received the call again and he asked me to call his MD on [protected] for further processing. I called him from another phone number and spoke to him, he insisted me to call from the earlier number and when I asked him the reason of calling him from earlier number he got irritated, I did called him from earlier number and spoke to him, he said that in order to process the amount I have to pay him Rs 8145 as a charge to secure my lottery amount. I knew it was fake, so I asked him his bank details, he provided me his account number ( [protected] ) and asked me to deposit the amount ASAP. I told him the net banking would be much faster and asked him his IFSC code : SBIN0005971, when I checked this online it was a SBI branch located in Gopalganj, Bihar. I insisted him to send me the official details of my Lottery via and email/ SMS from KBC which he denied as it will lead to duplication of my Lottery. I was really not convinced and I asked him how many such lottery they have processed until now, MD replied me that I should worry about my Lottery and not others, we had heated discussion and he disconnected the call. I would request Indian Consumer Forum to take action against the above number and the people with above bank details.
