69-yr-old Mumbai resident calls ‘bank' after forgetting net banking user ID, password; loses Rs 5 lakh
A Mumbai-based retired interior designer lost Rs 5 lakh after he purportedly called up the customer care service of his bank to avail internet banking facilities. According to the First Information Report (FIR) registered at the Bangur Nagar police station on Thursday, the sexagenarian, D Pimpre, wanted to use the internet banking facility but forgot his user ID and password. So, he used the banking app, which took him to an external link where two customer care numbers were mentioned. When he contacted one of the numbers, the FIR states, an alleged customer care executive answered the call and sent him a link on WhatsApp. The WhatsApp number from which the link was sent had the bank logo as its display picture. Pimpre then received a video call from a person who claimed to be from the customer service department of the bank. The caller asked Pimpre to click on the link and fill in details related to two accounts he has with the bank. The caller then informed him that his user ID and password will be sent to his WhatsApp number soon. The victim found out that Rs 5 lakh was missing from his accounts when he visited the bank, after his daughter warned him that the caller could be a cyber fraudster. An officer said that it was a common modus operandi of cyber fraudsters to change the contact numbers of various institutions on web browsers and replace them with their numbers to dupe people. 'No arrests have been made in the case so far,' the officer added.

A-League Side Western United Stripped Of License Ahead Of 2025/26 Campaign
Last Updated: United, who joined Australia's top-tier football competition in the 2019-2020 campaign as an expansion club and bagged the title in their third season, are on the brink of folding. A-League club Western United was stripped of its licence on Friday, piling on the misery of the Melbourne-based club The club from Victoria, who joined Australia's top-tier football competition in the 2019-2020 campaign as an expansion club and clinched the league in their third season, are on the brink of folding in dramatic fashion. 'As such Western United FC's license has been withdrawn, effective immediately," the body said in a statement. 'This outcome, while regrettable, reflects Football Australia's ongoing commitment to upholding the integrity, stability, and fairness of competitions for all clubs, players, and stakeholders," the governing entity added. The club has recently faced significant financial difficulties, with reports indicating that players and staff were paid late in April, May, and June. Additionally, the club has been unable to register new players due to a FIFA ban stemming from an unresolved financial dispute involving former striker Aleksandar Prijovic. Football Australia's first instance board, the independent body responsible for club licensing, determined that the club did not meet the criteria to hold an A-League licence. A planned takeover by American investors KAM Sports was announced a couple of months ago, but no final deal has been reached yet. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Victorian club will have seven days to appeal Football Australia's decision. The club, coached by former Socceroo John Aloisi, has indicated it will appeal. The ruling means Western United's men's and women's teams will not be able to compete in the A-Leagues, with Australia's top-tier football competition set to commence in October. view comments First Published: August 08, 2025, 13:13 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
