BHUBANESWAR: The next time you browse through the internet for the customer care or helpline of a company, make sure you do not land up in a cyber criminal’s net. A city-based software engineer lost `99,000 to cyber fraud while trying to recharge her DTH connection using an ecommerce payment system a week back. A resident of Housing Board Colony in Chandrasekharpur, she was defrauded while attempting to make the DTH payment of `280 through her Paytm wallet. Although she made the online payment on December 14 and the amount was deducted from her account, the money was not transferred to the DTH service provider.
