Social engineering fraud is a new form of cyber fraud that has been noticed in the recent past where the fraudsters are using the FD account of the victims to siphon off money. In the process, they –the fraudsters create a fixed deposit account of the targeted victim with help of their net banking details and transfer some amount. After this, they take an advantage of the vulnerability of the victim and ask their OTP posing themselves as bank officials. And, once the person shares his OTP, the cybercriminals transfer the entire FD amount into their account.
