TATA AIG policy claim fake call

I received another call on 6th July, 2015 informing me that I have interest credited in my TATA AIG policy (InvestAssure II - Uxxxxxxxxx). In fact, I surrendered the market-linked investment policy more than 2 years back. The call was from +91-120 471 6080 and the name of the person as told to me was Anuj Agarwal. He mentioned his office number as +91-8459398618. The person told me to send copies of photographs, Aadhar, etc by post or hand over to his agent to claim the money. I doubt, that was a fake call. I contacted Customer Care of TATA AIG and confirmed that they haven't contacted me. 

Fake caller - SBI credit card

I received a call couple of weeks back and the person introduced me as from SBI credit cards. I was told that a new chip enabled card will be issued soon and he collected my present SBI credit card details from me. It was too late for me to identify that as a fraud call. The person tried to purchase some items from ShopMantra for Rs. 8199. Since I didn't share the OTP which came to my mobile phone, the person couldn't use my card for the said purchase. Later, I contacted SBI and blocked my card and requested new one. Later the person tried to contact me from many numbers and I am listing those here and hope that  someone will be of use.
