Last Friday tunred as a severe shock for Alia Bhatt's mother, Soni Razdan . Reportedly, a con man had duped her off by making unauthorized transactions from her bank account. Nearly, 19 transactions were made from credit card within just 5 minutes.
Though she instantly blocked her credit card but the damage was already done as some of her transactions were approved.
Sharing about this terrible incident she said, "That card is either in my cupboard in lock and key , or it's in my purse but it's never swiped. I do my transactions through another service. I was with my daughter Shaheen in South Mumbai when I got a message with an OTP (one time password). We thought it's an old message that has been resent. In a fraction of a second, there was a diarrhoea of messages on my phone with OTPs and transactions. The bank promptly blocked my card, and assured me that I wouldn't have to pay for those fraudulent transactions. But I'm really scared now. What if I was shooting in the back of beyond and didn't get those messages? I would have been robbed!" (sic)
Soni is said to have billed her card last at the Singapore airport. She is yet to file a police compaint which she is plans to do after returning from her shoot.
