Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Tripura are the only three states that didn't report a single ATM fraud case, according to a Times of India report. The data, however, has not taken frauds involving anything less than Rs 1 lakh, so in reality, the numbers will be much more.

Online frauds are a huge concern as people are losing their hard-earned money in the hands of these crooks every day, who are devising new strategies to dupe people. The most common trick in the ATM fraud case is-installing skimmer devices on ATMs and point-of-sale machines, which are used to copy data from the cards.
