Dear Sir/Madam,

thank you very much for your quick response. let me explain you my issue in more detail.

Subject: Fraudulent activity and cheating by unknown person or gang for online money transfer from ICICI to YES Bank through Phonepe by online mode.

Sir,

My name is Pravin Prakash Patil. I stay at Old Panvel. My current address is Market Yard, Sahakar Nagar, Plot Number 29, Opp Gala Number 42, Behind raigad Bazar, Old Panvel, Pinn- 410206. I used to stay at Pune randomly on sharing basis as I work in Infosys, Pune and have work from home facilities, due to current situations of COVID, I posted on OLX for roommate required as, I was not sure that for how many months I need to pay a room rent for a flat which I hired at Pune, Wakad on sharing and rent basis. I got a request from one guy who named as Sudesh Kumar to me. I have attached Adhar card copy which he shared with me along with this letter. When he finalized the things by looking photos which I shared to him on his whatsapp number and calling number [protected] he agreed and told me that he will transfer deposit amount and rent amount to me by Phonepe to confirm for the room. He sent me links on whatsapp and barcode to do these transactions. Somehow he managed to fool me for this on phone call and I made 2 transactions, one is for rupees 7000 and 2nd is for rupees 15000 to him for reverse payment. I got stuck some few minutes and 7000+ 15000 got deducted from my ICICI account. My ICICI account number is[protected]. My registered email ID is [protected]@gmail.com. My registered mobile number is [protected]. Mobile number by which hi communicated with me is [protected] and it is still active. I have attached barcode which created and sent to me. CDF form ( cardmember dispute form – SR[protected] submitted to ICICI bank for this fraud. I have also attached Debit card which I am using for ICICI Bank. I have also attached screenshot for fraud transactions happened on 4th May 2020 in file Transactions. I have also attached Phonepe Transactions details in UTR1 and UTR2 files in which it shows that amount got transferred from ICICI bank to some suspicious person who have account in YES bank. Transaction ID’s for YES Bank are P2005021417171012699060 and P2005021410523148150541 . Unique transaction reference (UTR ) for ICICI are[protected] and[protected]. I have also attached my PAN Card and Adhar card. I have also attached my last month’s bank statement. My ICICI debit card and ICICI account number is blocked now by ICICI customer care for safety measure.

This shows that some unknown person or gang in organized manner transferred my money and used it for fraudulent purpose.
Hence I would request you to give your serious attention on this serious issue and take immediate legel action on the fraudsters involved in this malicious crime of cheating innocent people.

Your in time action on this complaint can prevent frauds that the person or gang is executing.

Your Sincerely,

Pravin Prakash Patil
