Some days ago an anonymous person call me via phone that he is an employee of a bank and my ATM card deactivate and seeks my details for reactivate ATM card.
As I have no ATM card in that Bank at the moment of calling I understood it was a hoax call. So I cannot share my details.
My query to the senior experts/professionals is that:
At this stage can be treat as an offence under IPC and/or Information Technology Act and lodge complaint before nearest police station ?
