Security Against Frauds
We make continuous efforts for preventing our firm’s network and systems from cyber threats and cyber incidents. We have devised policies and procedures which help us in implementation of cyber security. This, however, requires coordination and support from all the relevant stakeholders (Employees, partners, vendors and customers) alike.
How Frauds Happen?
Frauds begin with financial pressure or need at Fraudsters end, who next finds out an opportunity and rationalizes it. Most of the Frauds be it online or in-person, target consumers of financial services. Fraudsters may directly approach their target victims, or may lay a trap for victims to reach out to them.
Let us see next how these frauds happen "Via Customer Search" or "Via SMS/ Mail"
Via Customer Search
Step 1: Fraudsters create look-alike websites or social media handles or upload their contact details to become reachable via search engines
Step 2: Customer searches for Bajaj Finance/ Finserv details in search engine
Step 3: Search engines give both correct Bajaj Numbers and Fraudsters numbers. Similarly customer may also land on fake/ impersonating Bajaj Social Media handles/ forums
Step 4: Customer contact Fraudsters (who is waiting for victims) and conversation may convince customer for specific products
Step 5: Customer shares his PAN card, Address proofs etc and may also pay some fees asked by fraudster
Step 6: Customer gets nothing in return and may realize late that he is defrauded
Via SMS/ Mail
Step 1: Fraudsters gather customer's details to target
Step 2: Fraudster may send SMS with malicious links (which may download remote control apps like Any Desk)
Step 3: Fraudsters may also make calls and tell customer's about their personal and financial details with curated advise to gain trust
Step 4: Customer shares his PAN card, Address proofs etc and may also pay some fees asked by fraudster
Step 5: Customer gets nothing in return and may realize late that he is defrauded
