- [In how many ways can scammer steal an OTP?](https://phishbowl.in/2026/01/11/in-how-many-ways-can-scammer-steal-an-otp/): True story: Senior citizen recently reached out to me over some help after she fell for a scam. I asked what happened and first thing she said was: “I never shared my OTP.” Of course, working in fraud, we’ve all seen such memos before. One time, we were reviewing in how many such cases where we had taken a claim was the OTP successful. This for us was a good proxy for the extent of OTP sharing involved in ATO cases in retail banking. “Lack of care”, was the carefully coined trade jargon.
- [Crypto Scams to Watch Out for](https://phishbowl.in/2025/11/28/crypto-scams-to-watch-out-for/): 1. What is the most common crypto scam?Pump and dump schemes, phishing attacks, and fake investment platforms are among the most common crypto scams.
- [Biometrics, the Fraud Slayer](https://phishbowl.in/2025/11/27/biometrics-the-fraud-slayer/): Biometrics have come a long way. In the old days I had a credit card with a bank that used what we in the trade call “active voice bio”. And, to set up my active voice biometric I was supposed to say “My voice is my favorite password” or something geeky like that to bypass further call center authentication.
- [ATM Fraud](https://phishbowl.in/2025/10/31/atm-fraud/): Over a long weekend, there was an attack on an American bank’s ATMs. As usual it was picked up first by David Maimon (I remember giving him a like on Friday.)
- [Big Hole for the Big Cat?](https://phishbowl.in/2025/09/25/big-hole-for-the-big-cat/): Let’s talk about that 820 crore IMPS fraud attack at UCO bank between Nov 10 and 13, 2023. The fraud was executed based on failed inward remittances from 7 private banks, and credited no less than 41,000 accounts of UCO bank. Turns out while the receiving bank accounts were credited, there were no corresponding funds cleared into the UCO bank accounts. However, the originating bank accounts registered these as failed transactions.
- [How to spot fake currency](https://phishbowl.in/2025/09/04/how-to-spot-fake-currency/): Typically, larger denomination notes are more prone to counterfeiting. So here are the key features that is useful to know about the new series the ‘hari patti’ aka ₹500 –
- [Fraud in Cooperative Banks](https://phishbowl.in/2025/08/25/fraud-in-cooperative-banks/): Co-op. banks have had a checkered past. Right from the 1992 securities scam where Mercantile Co-op was involved in issuing false securities, to the Ketan Parekh scam where MMCB funds were abused to support his speculative positions. Fast-forward to PMC Bank — management had stuffed the loan book with over 70% exposure to a single group, and cooked the books while depositors were hung out to dry. Or the New India Co-op Bank embezzlement case that opened up a pandora’s box of NPAs & fake borrowers while audit dozed off.  Maharashtra State Coop Bank, J&K State Coop Bank, and so many embroiled in loan fraud.
- [What hit the fan at WazirX](https://phishbowl.in/2025/08/14/what-hit-the-fan-at-wazirx/): WazirX, an Indian crypto exchange got hit by one of the worst cyber heists on an Indian exchange and funds lost exceeded $230 million. Typically, crypto heists would not entirely be in my wheelhouse, but financial fraud that size always gets me curious. Been poking around their blog and chatting up my hacker friend circuit for more deets. Sharing a layperson summary here.
- [Fake Embassy Fraud](https://phishbowl.in/2025/07/31/fake-embassy-fraud/): Since this last weekend, when I saw this juicy fraud story pop on a news channel, gotta admit, I’ve been salivating to write about it.
- [The Devil Wears (Counterfeit) Prada](https://phishbowl.in/2025/07/26/the-devil-wears-counterfeit-prada/): If, like me, you’ve spent a lifetime in banking fraud, the word counterfeit almost automatically implies counterfeiting of plastics (bank cards) and checks. However, since the advent of what is commonly called chip and pin technology and the famous liability shift to merchants, with the right decline rules that sort of plastic counterfeiting should be dead. If not, at least gravitating to zero in most countries.
- [The Billionaire Bad Boy](https://phishbowl.in/2025/07/12/the-billionaire-bad-boy/): Those who watched the series ‘Bad Boy Billionaire’ on Netflix, probably know about gory details of the Rs. 11,400 Crore financial fraud perpetrated by Nirav Modi. As someone that fights fraud, I was curious to know more about this very intriguing “Bad Boy.” Pavan C. Lall in his book “Flawed: The Rise and Fall of India’s Diamond Mogul Nirav Modi” does not fail you, with the front row almost ringside view in his blow-by-blow account. Let me share my super short one-sentence Blinkist version for the purpose of this post - Nirav Modi essentially pulled off India’s largest Bank fraud through LOUs raised by a rogue banker at Punjab National Bank’s Brady House branch, and used it to funnel money outside the country through his web of some 20 odd shell companies, while over-invoicing and round tripping a bunch of diamonds. The bank called it a ‘human failure, not a system failure’. Of course, there was bribery and corruption (and spades of it, no doubt) but it is also true that PNB’s SWIFT system was not integrated with the Core Banking System. We can talk about fraud prevention and controls another day.
- [Shaken, Not Stirred](https://phishbowl.in/2025/07/12/shaken-not-stirred/): Moral of the story. Caller ID spoofing is here. There are apps on Android that one can download. Obviously, I won’t advertise the names of such apps, but they are straight forward to use. Really curious? There are tutorials online on how to use various versions of these. Some let you call from unlimited different numbers and buy credits etc. By the way, this can easily beat caller ID services.
- [Online Gaming, Online Gambling](https://phishbowl.in/2025/07/11/online-gaming-online-gambling/): I wondered whenever I passed by Mumbai’s sprawling Mahalaxmi Race Course, why betting on horses was legal in India, if gambling was supposedly illegal. Turns out, there is a distinction between a ‘game of skill’ and a ‘game of chance’, as per the Public Gambling Act (1867). Therefore, while betting on horses is considered a game of skill and hence exempt, betting on cricket matches is not. (Tomahto tomayto?) Casino games are also considered gambling. However, one of my ex-bosses (a genius statistician who had worked in insurance fraud) one day, over lunch taught a bunch of us how to card count at the Blackjack table. I found that it took a lot of skill. So, Blackjack should classify as a game of skill. No?
- [Cybercrime is Terror’s new BFF](https://phishbowl.in/2025/07/05/cybercrime-is-terrors-new-bff/): One could be a mass crowdsourcing mechanism for reporting active wallets. Phishbowl is a starting point, and we thank our customers for regularly reporting wallet addresses associated with scams. And this is quite effective.

- [How Ticket Booking Bots Fuel Fake Ticket Scams and Black Market Reselling](https://phishbowl.in/2025/06/22/ticket-booking-bots-and-ticket-scalping-scams/): Online ticket scams have become increasingly common around concerts, cricket matches, and high-demand events. In many cases, fans are not only competing with other buyers — they are competing with automated ticket booking bots designed to grab tickets within seconds and resell them at inflated prices.
- [Who’s liability is it anyway?](https://phishbowl.in/2025/06/17/whos-liability-is-it-anyway/): As per RBI’s own guidelines on customer liability, I quote from the website verbatim, “If the transaction has happened because of your negligence, that is, because of your sharing your password, PIN, OTP, etc., you will have to bear the loss till you report it to your bank. If the fraudulent transactions continue even after you have informed the bank, your bank will have to reimburse those amounts. If you delay the reporting, your loss will increase and it will be decided based on the RBI guidelines and the policy approved by your bank's board.” The liability caps are based on some combinations of type of account and time taken to report the fraud from the time of receiving the communication.

- [Fraud Verifications](https://phishbowl.in/2025/05/16/fraud-verifications/): Clearly, there are many checks we do in Fraud Verifications (such fraud though, is largely a lending product problem and doesn’t matter for deposit accounts.) These include -
- [Wolves of Wall Street in Sheep’s Clothing](https://phishbowl.in/2025/05/12/wolves-of-wall-street-in-sheeps-clothing/): In my business I have no option but to listen into tons of underground chatter. That’s where I ran into a scam app let’s call it BS AI (because most of it was BS in the name of AI). It grandly claims to be the trading expert in the field of artificial intelligence. (I wish I had a good Sundar Pichai AI meme).
- [Tinder Swindler – The all new dating scam](https://phishbowl.in/2025/05/07/the-tinder-swindler/): If you are 20 something looking for love on Tinder/Bumble/OkCupid/Hinge etc. then you've probably read about the dating scam.
- [Protect your devices like a Pro – Secure your phone](https://phishbowl.in/2025/05/07/how-to-protect-your-devices-like-a-pro/): There is a famous riddle shared among generation after generation of us, fraud fighters. It goes as follows: If you are being chased by a lion how fast do you need to run? Answer: Well, you only need to run a little bit faster than the slowest person in the group, so the lion doesn’t get you. Similarly, in fighting fraud, you just need to be less vulnerable than most vulnerable targets. Hence, while in this part of my educative series I share tips and tricks, stories and nuggets that help you protect your devices and secure your phone, it may not be an exhaustive list. However, it will help you stay way ahead of the vulnerability curve, and thereby reduce your chances of being that low hanging easy fruit for hackers and fraudsters, who usually go for the weakest link.
- [SIM Box Fraud Explained: How Scammers Steal Money Using SIM Cards](https://phishbowl.in/2025/05/07/what-is-sim-box-fraud/): SIM box fraud is a telecom bypass technique used by scammers to send large volumes of calls and SMS messages that appear local, making them harder to detect and easier for victims to trust. This method is often linked to phishing attacks, impersonation scams, OTP fraud, and financial scams.
- [Steganography – The New Attack Vector](https://phishbowl.in/2025/04/24/steganography/): Raise your hand if you watched the web series ‘The Freelancer’? The show in which a new bride ends up getting abducted into Syria, and is rescued back to India. In one scene, the ‘Freelancer’ sends the victim a harmless looking image to click open to infect the antagonist’s phone? That was an example of steganography.
- [Business Email Compromise](https://phishbowl.in/2025/04/22/business-email-compromise/): Business Email Compromise, or BEC for short is a scam targeting businesses or individuals working with suppliers and/or businesses regularly performing large value wire transfer payments. These sophisticated scams are carried out by fraudsters by compromising email accounts or other forms of communication such as phone numbers and virtual meeting applications, through social engineering or computer intrusion techniques to conduct unauthorized transfer of funds. As part of this modus operandi typically, the scammer ‘watches’ the legitimate traffic of a compromised business email for a big order or contract and when the time is right, he/she swoops in and sends and receives emails to take control of the conversation regarding a potential inbound payment and then redirecting it fraudulently to their own account. The manipulation invariably includes covering of tracks by the deletion of the sent email, changing the contact credentials on the mail signature by a digit here or there to ensure there is no contact between the email owner and the victim and similar underhand tactics to stay under the radar.
- [How not to take the phishing bait](https://phishbowl.in/2025/04/21/how-not-to-take-the-phishing-bait/): The popular cab aggregator Uber became a victim of a massive data breach in Sep of 2022. And how did the attacker get access to the sensitive internal systems? It turns out that the supposedly eighteen year old attacker who was eager to take responsibility for the successful attack said “I was spamming employee with push auth for over an hour. I then contacted him on WhatsApp and claimed to be from Uber IT. Told him if he wants it to stop he must accept it. And well, he accepted and I added my device .”
- [The less talked about Immigration Scams](https://phishbowl.in/2025/04/21/the-less-talked-about-immigration-scams/): Every day, we hear about people losing their hard-earned money to the classic romance scams, investment schemes and job and work from home scams. A relatively lesser-known scheme which is often a variant of job scams, is very surgically targeted at victims looking to relocate to foreign shores. These are often hard to crack by the brightest people given there is no way to physically verify the details, because of the distance involved and the general lack of information about the country concerned.
- [I Got Scammed, How Do I Get My Money Back?](https://phishbowl.in/2025/04/13/i-got-scammed-how-do-i-get-my-money-back/): As a fraud prevention expert, I get this question a lot.
- [Password hygiene and Authentication Best Practices](https://phishbowl.in/2025/04/13/password-hygiene-and-authentication-best-practices/): The aforementioned report by Digital Shadows also found that 49 out of the top 50 most common passwords can be cracked in under one second. But here’s the catch. If you added just one special character to the basic password with a length of 10 characters the algorithm would take 90 minutes more to crack it. Now if you added instead two special characters, it would add 2 days and 4 hours to the password cracking time. Long tale short, adding more length and complexity to the password seems like a linear addition but actually adds exponentially to the combinations and hence exponentially longer for algorithms to crack it. Alright, so let’s summarise some of the key lessons we have learned here and some more simple hacks to maintain good password hygiene.
- [Be Cyber Safe!](https://phishbowl.in/2025/04/05/cyber-safe/): Cybercrimes and digital scams are an issue that is growing every day. Often retired people lose their life savings to shameless fraudsters.
