Credit card Fraud(Skimmers)

Complaint from Sri R.V.Ram kumar, states that fraudulent withdrawal of money from his SBI Savings Bank account by an unidentified miscreant, he left for Machilipatnam when these withdrawals took place, when he was know by this he immediately realized that these were not his withdrawals and requested his friend back in Hyderabad to go to the branch and alert the bank about the same.  So his friend went to the bank and got the account frozen. It is his  submission that his ATM-cum-debit card was with him.  He never lost the card, nor gave it to any one; not even his wife operates the card. A stranger has called on him and gist of the conversation connected to this incident is given as follows. Later a person identifying himself as one Mr. Sivashanker, called him on his mobile from different landline numbers, saying that he is an employee of SDB-CISCO security cash transfer company(which carries cash for ICICI and e-Seva); that he was instructed by Mastercard company from Delhi, which supposedly manages ATM transactions for SBI, to inform him that a computer error has occurred due to which such transfer has happened, and the amount is going to be deposited in his account with 2% interest rate.  He really, for sometime, believed that Master card company had access to this information and has given to him.  He told him to come and meet him and explain him how such a mistake is possible, for which he said he was not willing.  Then he told him that he has only Rs.6000 cash with him in his van and Rs.60,000 will be deposited next day. He then started pleading him not lodge a complaint and told him  that would make the cash transfer he became little suspicious about his pleadings not to complain to the Bank.  On other hand, he used all the language to convince him that he is from such a security firm.  Then he told him that his account is closed by the bank, he then asked him the new account number. He has given him a new account number. Next day, he has deposited Rs.6,000/- as he promised and later on no further money is deposited.  There is no further response to him  attempts to call him to the mobile number that he has given him Why did he deposit that money in his  account?  Was it fresh bait for him to disclose him his new account and see any more money he put into that account for him to steal? Meanwhile, the local head office of SBI working hard on his complaint.  They located the ATM centers of first three withdrawals and identify the fact of this person from the video footage from CC Camera, He has informed them about this strange call for this person, Sivashanker and his conversations with him. They have even called on SDB-CISCO office at Thirumalgiri head office (near Ved Vihar, Thirumalghirry, Secunderabad).  They found that there is an employee by such name, but by talking to him they could not conclude any thing concrete about the crime.  It is strongly suspect that someone has made a duplicate ATM card and used.
