ICICI Bank
Fraudulent transaction

Dear Sir,

I had a fraudulent online transaction in my ICICI bank account on 7-Apr-11.

I somehow realized that on 8th itself and freezed my bank account and later also registered FIR with local Police station.

Later during the further investigation – it came out that someone had got duplicate SIM card of my mobile and then transferred the amount to his account. He had got made a duplicate PAN card with my details (though photograph was different, PAN number was different, signature was different and first name spelling was wrongly spelled). Later he used the same PAN card to get duplicate SIM from my service provider i.e. Vodafone.

Subsequently some dodgy company in New Delhi got the money transferred to their account (in ICICI bank itself) from my account.

However, since I reacted fast enough – there were no further transactions.

Moreover, ICICI bank also said that the account wherein my money is transferred was also under scrutiny and subsequent to my report they have also freezed that account as well. Good part is my money is still into the account and account is freezed so that it cannot be used / withdrawn.

Now it is almost 1 month since the transaction happened and ICICI bank says that they will credit only after getting approval report from Police and Police is taking their own time.

I am also keen to file a case against VODAFONE since how could they issue a duplicate SIM with so many mismatching details on my PAN card.

Please help me.

Regards,

Asheesh Bhimsaria
