TECHIE CRIMINALS?????!!!

                   TECHIE CRIMINALS???????

     Yes. What you saw in the title is absolutely TRUE.

                   I am not talking about those techies, who have criminal mind set, but , those criminals who have technical expertise.

                Let us get in to the details of ," what I am going to talk about ".....

                      In recent days, as most of you people know, that, I am in to online coaching, I will remind you about the  notification , I had announced on my what's app status. In this connection, I also enrolled myself in Online tuition sites.    

                   ONLINE TUTION sites , give us the information about the students ,who are interested in taking ONLINE TUTIONS.

                  In One reputed site, I had sent my number to those students, who enquired about availability of a Chemistry Tutor, online for NEET, Class 11 and Class 12.

                They, didn't respond me , after  knowing the details ,about the fees ,they had to pay for one hour. I thought, that was a closed case.

               After one month, suddenly somebody ,asks me whether, I am available to take tuitions for the same children , to whom, I had given this number about one month ago.

               I thought, I can take up the tuitions, since the requested time matches me as I didn't accept any other proposals during that time.

              Now, comes, the real thing, which adds the element of thrill to the story. The person, who spoke with me on the phone , introduced himself as a soldier, working at the Borders and he wants his children to be taught by me. So far, it was still a normal thing.

             I said "OK". 

             He said, that, that night itself, he would be leaving to Kargil as a part of his duty, and also added that, he would not be returning before four months. 

            He requested me to take the classes to their children , so that, he would pay the money for the four months in advance, since , no contacting or money sending device ,would be available with him, because , he would be working in an atmosphere, which is un accessible to any kind of mobiles, banks etc..

             Now, I smelt something fishy in his conversation, still, with all the respect, I have for the Soldiers, I just allowed him further to speak.

             Now, comes, the real point of time , in the story, where criminal aspect springs up.

                 He said, that, he would send me money through some Military money sending machine ( GOD knows exactly what it is?, 😉),  and enquired me whether, I have received or sent money through this military machine, any time. I said "No", Never".

           He explained the procedure, then. I listened carefully, though I had a small doubt about the fellow,  I wanted to give him a benefit of doubt, just because of  my sentiment towards Soldiers.

           He said that , he would initially send me one rupee to my paytm account , and I should click on the caption that appears on the screen. He sent me one rupee, and asked me to click "pay "on the caption appeared on my mobile screen. Then, I got this suspicion, as to why, I should click" pay "when he had sent me money?!!!!.....

             By God's grace, something striked my mind at that instance, and immediately, opened my google pay app and transferred my entire  balance to another safe account. Meanwhile apna fauji bhaiyya  bahut jaldbaaji me was shouting at me  to click on it without any delay,otherwise, it would time out. I wanted to see, what would happen, because, I was safe then, having transferred my money to a safe account and dared to click on the caption "Pay".

                He asked me, whether 1 rupee is added to my account or not. I verified and found , yes one rupee was added to my account to my surprise and told him the same. Then, I repented for a moment as I suspected this Soldier unnecessarily.

                Then, He said, he would send Re20,000/- and in the same way asked me to click on "Pay" button that appeared on the screen. I promptly did the same and ....and...  " You know, what happened?",,,, yeah. your expectation is correct. The transaction is failed.

                      I didn't receive the 20,000/- ,as, I received, one rupee in earlier attempt. He was panic.. He asked me, whether, I had transferred any amount from my account to some one else's before, I clicked this pay 20,000/ amount on the screen, that was supposed to be sent by this man....

                   I said "yes. I did". He said , that was the reason, why, I didn't receive the 20000, and  he also added that I , require to maintain a balance of 10,000/- at least, for the operation to be successful . He insisted me to give , any other account , I hold ,where, I had min balance of Rs10,000/- , so that, he could effect the transfer of amount immediately.  

                  I blocked, the number immediately and gave a complaint to cyber crime cell.

                 " Do you know, What was to follow?" .....A message from my Bankers, asking me "whether, to allow the transaction to the account  and debit 20,000 from my account?" . "Did you understand the fraud?"...."Also, you can guess, what would be my reply to my Bankers"....

     Now, having understood that, I was safe , I wanted to check on my "paytm" transactions. "YOU know, what happened?"...      1 re/- was added twice to  my account , and  1 re/ was deducted once from my account, showing 1 re/- more than my previous balance, which made me trust the fellow initially. How ever , just because of the God's grace,  it sparked in me to transfer all that, I had to , another account and it saved me from ,what could have been a pathetic situation. 

      Two lessons from the episode:

      1.   Never believe anyone , not even, when he introduces himself as, Soldier, Teacher,  etc,..

     2. Never click "Pay", during a transaction, when others are  sending you money, from what ever GOd damn machine, they might be sending the amount to you.

                 There are teachers who can teach. the teachers too a lesson or two..😉😌😌😎
