There are several ways in which scammers can trick you and make profits. Listed below are ways in which financial fraud takes place:
In case an individual willingly makes cash transactions or gives out personal or financial details, the banks do not comply with the requests and often refuse to refund customer’s money. The customer can make a complaint to the banks ombudsman. But no matter how much we sympathize with the customer, the ombudsman can only tell a bank to pay up if there’s an indication that the bank has failed to follow the regulations or rules that might have resulted in the loss.
In cases where someone has been tricked into handing over passwords or OTP allowing fraudsters to get the money, customers must inform banks within a requisite time.

It is mandatory for government banks to have customer grievance redressal centers, as suggested by the RBI. Some of the government banks hardly care for the queries or grievances of customers. One of the main reasons why customers are getting increasingly conned by scammers, is because of sheer bank negligence.
Phishers are the ones who are gaining from frauds. The person who is being conned is unaware of the ways one can get scammed and consequently gets easily fooled into paying money, in the name of advance payment, insurance or security money.
