Cyber fraud is on the rise
Cyber fraudsters message you the same way a bank messages you. Customers trust these messages as messages from the bank. They also share their details. Many details have been leaked through this. Bank does not ask any personal information or OTP from customers. No KYC details will be asked from the bank at any time. No bank asks customers to click on any link.
How to spot fake news
To find out whether a message from a bank is fake or genuine, there are several things to look out for.
1. There will be no errors in messages sent from banks. Whereas fake messages contain many errors. It has been found that these fake news contain a lot of grammar mistakes.
2.Banks or other financial institutions send messages only to their customers and not to everyone. Often you get messages from banks where you don’t have an account. Be careful with these.
3. If the message is sent from a bank, the sender’s mobile number will not be displayed, the short form of the sending bank’s name will be displayed.
How fake messages are sent
If SBI customers do not update their PAN on the given link, an SMS will be sent informing them that their ‘YONO’ account will be blocked. YONO is SBI’s digital banking platform. The fake link given in the message leads to an SBI page. In this, users will be asked to enter important information. When users enter their details into it, their information reaches hackers.
