Actor Amol Palekar victim of credit card fraud
Well known actor and director Amol Palekar, presently based at Pune, was at the receiving end of a credit card fraud as an unknown person(s) used his credit card details to book a couple of air tickets online. The card was issued by Bank of India, Mumbai, and Palekar was faced with a bill of around Rs.60K for this transaction.
Deputy Police Commissioner Sunil Phulari (Cyber Cell) said this amount from Palekar’s credit card was transferred to the accounts of two travel companies for purchasing air tickets for Goa-Mumbai and Mumbai-Bangalore flights in November 2007.
Here it is important to reiterate that if anyone happens to obtain your credit card number, it’s expiry date, and the CVV code, this information is sufficient to misuse your card, so please be doubly careful with how you handle your credit card.
