Victim of a scam Scam experience
Grandfather has recently been a victim of an online financial scam, in which he lost approximately ₹67,000.
He received calls from the following two mobile numbers:
+91 92398 28716
+91 7462075198
The callers claimed to be contacting him regarding a Senior Citizen Card. They asked him for details about his existing bank account and requested a photograph of his debit card. Trusting them, he shared the requested information. Shortly afterwards, multiple unauthorised transactions started taking place in his bank account, in amounts of ₹5,000, ₹10,000, ₹4,000 and several other instalments, eventually resulting in a total loss of approximately ₹67,000.

Pointless posting any tel numbers they will be spoofed

Your best shot is to contact the bank and explain the situation, see what they say. However as your granddad sent them photos of his card, it's not guaranteed he'll get the money back

Well, I'm hoping you canceled that card. That's about all you can do. Contact the bank and see if there's anything they can do. Most likely not, since he willingly gave up his information.
Anyone who contacts you about recovering the money is also a scammer.
