He then asked me how many bank accounts I had and how much money I had. Have I received any big amount lately? Have you been contacted by anyone to open a bank account? etc He then assured me the case would be closed in 20-30 minutes if I cooperate. (12/n)
The Police in Charge PRAKASH KUMAR GUNTU was made to sound like he is an important guy and is really busy. He also said the same thing: cooperate, and this will be resolved in 20-30 minutes. Almost 150 people are under investigation for this case. (13/n)
He said there are bank employees, corporate employees, desperate people etc all sorts of folks involved. Some are doing it willingly, and some got scammed like you. The only way to resolve this is by 'cooperating' and letting us into your bank accounts. (red fag 6) (14/n)
He said I believe you, but higher authorities don't. You transfer 95499 to us to verify whether your accounts have been compromised and verify account details. We will refund the money in 15 minutes. You remain on the call throughout we assure you of all help. (15/n)
I obviously insisted that I couldn't just transfer money to you and what is the guarantee that you will return that amount. For which he sent me an acknowledgement. Again fake document. (16/n)A 
At this point, I was not transferring the money at any cost. He threatened to freeze my accounts for 2-3 years, and there's nothing you can do about it. Either pay or come to Mumbai. I agreed to come to Mumbai, and he hung up the minute he heard that. (17/n)
That was the end of the story, but I am now worried that the scammers have my Aadhar details and are likely to misuse them. I panicked, and I couldn't think rationally. Even when I was surrounded by my family, I ignored their warnings. (18/n)
If I had been alone, I am sure I would have booked an overpriced ticket or transferred that money. Now I know how believable these scams are and anyone can panic. Do not mock or preach them. It must be hard to lose your hard-earned money like this. (19/n)
I am still shaken. I have taken the necessary actions like updating my passwords and all. The WhatsApp number is this 6232181319. If it can happen to someone like me who is always online, reading & watching content about online frauds, I am sure it can happen to anyone. (20/n)
Be calm, alert and seek help. Do not panic, even if you feel like it is a big mess. DO NOT PANIC (like I did). I got saved but not everyone is that lucky. The presence of mind and alertness is the key here. #StaySafe and #stayvigilant. (21/21)
