There are various online scams which say that you can win an iPhone, and believe it or not, most people fall for such a trap. <\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">And recently, a 23-year-old man was the latest victim of this scam, where he did not win the free iPhone 14 Pro Max, instead lost more than Rs 4 lakh from his bank account. All this scam happened through WhatsApp, where the victim got a message saying that he had won a lucky draw that was run by an electronics shop. <\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Losing_Over_Rs_4_Lakh_To_A_WhatsApp_Message_All_Details\"><\/span>Losing Over Rs 4 Lakh To A WhatsApp Message: All Details<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The scammer then messaged saying the victim had won a parcel which had an iPhone 14 Pro Max model. Falling for the ruse, the victim reached out to the WhatsApp number that was provided. Now, what followed after that was a nightmare that he never saw coming. <\/p>\n<p><nonfly class=\"article_mad\" adunit=\"NW18_ENG_Desktop\/NW18_ENG_Tech\/NW18_ENG_Tech_AS\/NW18_ENG_TECH_AS_ROS_MID_728\" slotid=\"nw18-dynamic-div-8114989_3_7\" id=\"new_ad_3\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The scammer claimed that in order to receive the iPhone, the victim had to pay some taxes which seems to have been part of the prize money. And when the victim decided to pay the amount, he had to pay a total of Rs 4.26 lakh in 34 different transactions. The fact that he was ready to pay the tax amount means the victim would have given them confidential details about his bank that can be used to withdraw the money. <\/p>\n<p><videocarousel\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The victim does finally realise that he was scammed of this money and isn\u2019t getting any iPhone from the lucky draw. Eventually he decides to contact the police, where an official complaint has been filed. He even shared the number of the scamster and the bank details where he transferred the money. <\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">It is very unlikely that the victim is going to get his money back, as the details provided would be unavailable by now. WhatsApp scams have become a serious issue but in most cases, events like these are avoidable as long as the person is aware and smart with how they interact with such messages. Never ever reply to messages from unknown senders, and never share personal details with such contacts. We advise you to block and report these numbers right away.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-1647035624 authorBox21 article_author\">\n<div class=\"jsx-1647035624 author_box\">\n<div class=\"author_box_inner\">\n<div class=\"img_box1 author_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2022\/02\/s-aadeetya.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=70&amp;height=70\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"text1 author_content\"><a class=\"smalldesc1 author_name\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>S Aadeetya<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, stumbled his way into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media ho<!-- -->&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya.html\" class=\"read_more\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/man-wanted-to-win-iphone-14-pro-max-ends-up-losing-over-4-lakh-from-his-account-what-happened-8114989.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Last Updated: June 19, 2023, 14:08 IST iPhones are appealing to everyone, making them easy target for scams Nobody says no to a free iPhone 14 Pro Max but at what cost?
