Think twice before trusting someone with your debit card pin number, even if he or she is family. A 66-year-old jeweller was cheated by his own nephew to the tune of Rs 11 lakh. The victim, Hirachand Soni, had trusted his nephew with his debit card’s PIN number, who worked at his jewellery store in Mulund.
However, 25-year-old Laxman Soni, decided to take advantage of the information, and withdraw cash from the ATM without his uncle’s knowledge for the last eight months. Laxman had been working at Hirachand’s jewellery store for the last seven years as a sales clerk. He is the victim’s cousin brother’s son.
