NAVI MUMBAI: A 47-year-old interior decorator from Kharghar has been cheated of Rs 1.46 lakh by an e-fraudster, who contacted her over mobile posing as representative of a mobile service provider.

The caller said that the company was activating an e-SIM card for customers and sent her a message from the cellular network company’s central helpline and told her to share the OTP for e-SIM verification.

After she shared the OTP, her SIM card was blocked for a day when the fraudster carried out three fraudulent transactions of a total of Rs 1.38 lakh on her credit card and one transaction of Rs 8,000 from her savings bank account.
