One wrong Google search and your entire bank balance could be stolen!

Google search is the answer for almost everything. When we don't know something we tend to rely on Google. However, it could prove costly when we land on a trap, reports Economic Times.

Recently, a Bengaluru woman landed on a trap after Googling Zomato's customer care number. She dialed them and after registering she found out that her entire account was clean swept.

In a similar case in Chennai, another customer was conned by a fake customer care number. After being asked his UPI id, passowrd and bank details, he suspected fraud. He gave a wrong pin and soon he received two SMSs from bank for two transactions for Rs.5000 and Rs.10 which was failed due to incorrect pin.

Zomato has registered a complaint regarding the incidents and there were also several cases in the past.

Even with EPFO, a scamster changed the number of the office in Mumbai on Google and scammed several people.

Few months ago, Amul had issued a legal notice to Google claiming fake campaigns regarding Parlours and Distributors have started through fake websitesusing Google search ads.
