@KP24 In Bangalore, you can find 20-30 different cricket teams playing on a single ground, with no one knowing whose ball is flying where.

@ipo_agarwal What's the best way to get allocation in IPO? I've been applying as BHNI still not even a single allocation from past 3 years

@ValueWithPrem You can't take gold as and when required if you go for OD on gold as it has time / days constraints. Middle class needs gold for functions they can't keep it for certain period without using. So locker has the feasibility of taking whenever you want.

@idlebrainjeevi Terra Vera on St. Mark's Road is known as one of Bangalore's most haunted places after a gruesome murder in 2002. Locals reported eerie sounds. It is there since 1943 onwards

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@idlebrainjeevi With the help of your hints, I could think of below names

1) Vangaveeti Ranga
2) Ramoji Rao
3) Paritala Ravindra
4) Nadendla Bhaskara Rao

Scam Alert (Sharing for benefit of readers. Please share).

I got a phone call today (5th Feb 2024) at 10:08 AM. It was a very professional call. There was a recorded message telling me that one of my parcels has not been delivered. Press 1 to talk to customer care. Press 2 for other queries etc. It sounded super genuine.

So, I pressed 1. After a few seconds, a customer executive was speaking to me. Now, this person spoke to me (very professional, great English) telling me that he is from Fedex National Courier. He told me one of my parcels has been detained by customs. He told me that my Aadhar card, phone number has been used as the SENDER and hence they are calling me. Since I have not sent any parcel, I was a bit alarmed, but also wanted to get more details.

I asked him for further details, and he shared with me:

Parcel Sent on 2nd Feb 2024
Parcel Number - 228932129185
Origin: Mumbai
Destination: Thailand
Recipient name - Lee Kim Chiang
Parcel contents - Laptop, Credit card, bank documents, 2 kg cloth and 140 gm MDMA (Ilegal drug)
He told me that payment of ₹16500 has been made using an ICICI Debit card. Last 4 digits are 8562.

He asked me if I was the sender. I denied. I told him that I want to place on record, that I have not sent any item. He asked me if I want to lodge a complaint with the Mumbai Cyber Crime. I told him, definitely I would do that. He asked me to wait, while he transfers the call to Cyber Dept..

Suddenly, I could hear a ringtone - Transferring the call to Mumbai Cyber Crime. I waited for around 3-4 minutes, but no one picked up. The ringtone was super professional. It made me believe that the call is indeed getting transferred.

I finished my swim & on my way back, I called up Official Fedex Number to check if the Reference number was valid. They told me that, no such number exists & they do not track parcels based on phone numbers. I was still not able to believe what happened.

Now, the crazy part:

- I called the phone number back (it was a mobile number which had all facilities of automated response, keypad interactions etc) and an old lady from Kerala picked the call. She told that only her husband and herself live. She seemed to be an old lady. I spoke to her in Malayalam from two different numbers. This shows that her number was also hacked into.
- I was just wondering. What if someone had spoken to me as Mumbai Cyber Crime Team. I might have believed them and might have shared some critical details with them. Luckily, that call didn't get answered.

SUMMARY:

- Such scams exist. Since Customs/Airport/Drugs etc. are mentioned, we can easily panic and might share our details.
- Our Aadhar card details are getting shared across, and hence such scams can easily be done. Many organizations still do not accept masked Aadhar. I think Govt. has to make it mandatory to accept only Masked Aadhar.
- I got the call from a phone number with keypad interactions, automated response, call transfer etc. but the phone number was hacked. This is alarming. Technology to the highest use.
- Never share your details on call with anyone. Especially OTP etc. Check if everything is perfectly ok. Even if someone comes to your home, with such details (possible since Aadhar has address details), please never entertain such things.
- Also, never entertain if someone is transferring calls. Tell them that you would verify, and directly get in touch with Cyber Cell/Police etc.
- Also, best to have call recording option enabled for all calls by default. I have done the same now, after this call.

Now, please share this message with all. Share with your family, friends, Whatsapp. Especially senior citizens. Please tag all the authorities in the comments section, so that they are informed. If any authority wants details of the number, I can share directly.

I am planning to share this information with Cyber Crime team of my city with the phone number as well.

Share this widely. Let's defeat the impersonators together. If this can happen to me, it can happen with anyone.

@KP24 @anantyagi_ @anilkumble1074 It's Vizag or Visakhapatnam not visag.

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX Yes boarding started now. 20 mins to takeoff makes it 3 hours delay and if everything goes well then will reach by 2:15AM. Search for hotel at that time. No pepper sleep. Need to go to office by 9AM whole day screwed cause of you and the service provided by you.

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX IX 974 07/01/24 flight from Bangalore lo Pune delayed by 2 hours. Staff at boarding point have no idea how long it'll be delayed further and niether refreshments nor compensation provided.Seems Airindia expres is providing pathetic service post merger. vl complain DGCA

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX Mentioned incorrect time as we are yet to board flight. Travel time is 90 mins after take off and not sure when it'll takeoff

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX If you really strive to provide better service then you could have informed passengers well in advance.Informing after reaching airport makes it worst. you are not in a position to compensate by any means,I'll have to search for hotel after landing at 1:30AM old booking cancelled

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX This is second instance in 1 day my previous flight I5 2461 (vtz to blr 07/01/24) also delayed by 75 mins and now you are saying will provide pleasant experience. Do you really think will travel with you again?

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX So you can delay flights however you want without any prior intimation and make passengers to suffer on top of it not compensating makes it worst airline service. Anyways I'm not going to leave this here #pathetic #AirIndiaExpress

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX You are yet to answer my question. What's the compensation for this last minute delay?

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX Look at the situation right now and you expect me to go and discuss with them by crossing this crowd? If you were in that situation will you be able to answer these many?

[Suresh Chintada @sureshchintada]

@AirIndiaX Your staff is not in a situation to answer. As many passengers are discussing with them and they don't have any answers. What's the compensation for this delay? I'll end up loosing my hotel booking as the date will be 8th Jan by the time I land in Pune
