Lic Of India — Scam call claiming to be from LIC Head office

Address:

Pune, Maharashtra

Yesterday I received a call from number [protected] and the lady from other end in her fluent and confident accent told me that she is calling from LIC head office, and without loosing any time in between she throw her fishing hook towards me by asking, "आपका XXXXXXXX Policy का बोनस अभी तक आपने क्लेम क्यू नही किया? अगर आपने क्लेम नही किया तो ये सारा पैसा आपका एजंट खा जायेगा" For a moment I came into her words and asked what do I need to do to claim the bonus amount. And she took me to next stage of her conversation, "Just give me all your details and I will process it right away and send this check to you" Thank god I didn't give details as I thought, LIC never made such calls in the past to pay me bonus. But I was stunned to know how the lady got my number and know that I hold one particular policy. We got to be really careful. Posting it here for awareness.
