Today, in the mid morning around 02.00AM I have received 2 SMS alerts from ICICI Bank Credit Cards stating "A txn of Rs 555/- made at INDIAIDEAS.COM, after 5 minutes one more txn of Rs. 555/&-quot; and I got the picture "it's a fraud". And, I called up the ICICI Bank and while on call, I have received one more SMS of Rs 645/-.
Let’s make it straight:
1. INDIAIDEAS.COM charged Re.1/- first (I know this looks like a small deposit test or credit card testing with a minimal amount).
2. After Re.1/- confirmed the credit card is valid and there are funds available in it.
3. Well, they tried 2 txns worth Rs.555/- and it looks like a mobile phone recharge to me.
4. While on call one more txn of Rs. 645/- TTSL MCHECK ANDH. When I Googled this, it's "Tata Tele Services Ltd."
5. Though I use TATA SKY, but never registered for any fraud site called "BillDesk or INDIAIDEAS.COM". I use Airtel anyways!
Who are these people? How did they get someone’s PII and why would someone want to charge at mid-morning?
I strongly feel the need of the time has come for the Mobile services/Banks and others must take action against INDIAIDEAS.COM. I guess if I ever will transact or use my credit card here on...
