Cyber experts say that the amount was most likely withdrawn by means of card cloning. There are all the possibilities that when the woman withdrew some amount from some ATM, there was a card scanner installed at the machine and the moment she swiped her card, the details were recorded in the scanner machine. These details were used by someone who robbed her account off the entire amount later by card cloning. Police is now investigating the details.
