Make a Deal fraud in Hyderabad Victim's Society, In orbit mall city center

Hi all,
ha ha... laughing seeing the title Victim's society......

I am one of the victim of "make a deal" fraud done in hyderabad ( lost 50K)
My name is Naresh
Contact no : 9000608609

 this fraud happened in "In-Orbit" and "City Center" Malls in Hyderabad.

Here is what happened..
Stalls were setup in these malls attracting customers to pay Rs 50 and get gift vouchers/mobile recharge worth Rs 250, immediately.
Customers were promised to get Reebok vouchers to be mailed to their address.
The caveat however is the customer has to use his/her "Debit Card" to make initial Rs 50 payment.
As soon as the card is swiped and pin entered the details were captured, i believe in the card swipe machine.
After a few days when salaries were credited to the account, these fraudsters had cleaned the account.
I heard of customers who were happy getting Baskin Robins vouchers immediately, and these "satisfied customers" informed friends and family to avail this amazing "Make a deal" offer.


Lets all fight in common.....Lets join our hands 


I posted this to unite all victims so that we can fight back !!!


Feel free to contact me and join in group


Police told we will be gathered to record a statement...Don't know how far police will help us.





Lessons we learnt:
--------------------------------


1) Use credit cards, We have time to block the transaction if it is Unauthorized
2) Don't reveal Debit Card pins even to your friends.
3) Don't use Debit card of your salary account anywhere. ( Transaction done once salary got credited)
   Maintain alternative Debit cards with small amounts
4) Frequently change ATM pins, account passwords.

Common Scripting errors for beginners

when i  started scripting i had these errors in the begenning . The most common mistakes one makes during his initial stages of scripting are.

1.Check script file permissions. A script needs execute permission


2.We should not use default values that generate errors.If you
  give those your script execution breaks in the middle.

3.We must supply parameters as required ie make parameter mandatory
  if parameter is to be provided for sure, or else it throws an error.

4. Resuable script should not be hard-coded values.Use parameters  instead.

5.Commenting the script is very important... Make it a habbit to write
  comments.Also specify in comments if script has multiple parameters.
  you can also write examples in comments for better understanding.

6. Error handling is a must for scripting
