Updated by Riti1609 Hi Team,
I have received an email from someone named Raman, who claims to be working with consumer forum and his email address is: raman.[protected]@rediffmail.com and his phone number is [protected].
He said he will pay the refund to any goverment bank issued card and I informed him that I dont hold any goverment bank accounts and he said its okay, if this is one of family members account too so, I agreed to share the bank account i.e. card details of a family member. I provided him with the card and expiry date and he was persistant on getting the CVV number, which I refused to as, Im a bank employee myself and I'm aware that no one needs the card's CVV number to process refunds.
I told him im not comfortable and he said its for security and I informed him that the number he is calling from is a cell phone number and not a recorded line and email received too is from a rediff email address but, this chap claimed to be working with consumer forum so, ive refused to share the other details and disconnected the call.
Kindly advise if the person calling is genuine employee of consumer forum and why do you guys need my card's CVV number for processing refund?
I would rather receive a refund directly to my paytm account as, all my bank details are already connected to it or would be comfortable, if I can receive some intimation that this is the protocol followed for processing refunds and that my bank details are secured.
Please advise!
Regards,
Riti Srivastava
