This is a vicious scam and could have caused grievance to my elderly Grandparents if I would have not intervened. They were asked to deposit around Rs 5000 in a specific Bank account which the Frauds said would be used for the Prize money transfer. My Grandma contacted me and I immediately stopped them from doing so, I called the PTCL helpline and they confirmed my inhibitions. Its good that PTCL has brought these malicious schemes to the notice of the general public.
