It’s learnt that the IAF employee had called up the customer care of a private bank. He wanted to get a credit card issued. Though the call did not get connected, he received a return call from ‘Ajay Kumar’ who claimed to be from customer care. Kumar had sent the IAF employee a link on his cell phone after procuring the account number of the victim by luring him with the promise to get his credit card issued soon. His account was also debited by Rs540 as processing fee.
