Vishal Sharma's credit card scam: 2 more complaints filed

Two more victims of Vishal Sharma, on Friday, registered complaints against him and three others of cheating them and siphoning off their money with their cards.

Sharma and his accomplices targeted the credit card holders of ICICI Bank and withdrew money from their bank accounts between April 12 and 14.

In one such complaint registered with the Sola police, Chintu Moriya (31) alleged that Sharma along with Rahul offered to convert his Gold Credit card into a Platinum Card. The two identified themselves as bank executives.

Convinced, Moriya then called the two to his residence at Satadhar Crossroads on April 12. After Sharma and Rahul made Moriya fill a form, the pair cut the Gold Credit card with scissors and kept it with them. However, Moriya got to know about the fraud only when Sharma went on a 'shopping spree' worth Rs1.32 lakh using his card on April 14.

Mohan Nanu, a resident of Godasar, was also cheated in a similar manner by Sharma and Rahul on April 12. Nanu, in his complaint to Shahpur police on April 19, stated that the two used a similar modus operandi and withdrew Rs42,000 from his account with the credit card.
