Did you got a call from a phone number beginning with 140?

You or someone close to you got a call from number 140981051 or number starting with series 140. Comment your experience to make all aware.

Someone from Bank called you onto your Mobile no. and said your ATM card or Debit card will be blocked as you have not submitted your KYC (Know your customer) verification.
OR
He/she says that your LIC policy or any policy has come for cancellation and this is a confirmation call from the department.

He/She speaks in Hindi or English and will sound very professional initially.

DO NOT fall PREY to these FRAUD/FAKE peoples by giving your ATM card numbers or policy number or DOB or any kind of details.

If you identified the person on the other side is fake and you start counter-question, he/she will start abusing bad words in Hindi. Do not get into argument and disconnect the call.

Never ever share your OTP (One time password on mobile or email), ATM card number, UPI pin, ATM Pin, policy details, bank details, personal details to unknown people. Bank will never ask you for OTP or any details.


How to Stop such calls?
