The game of online fraud is going on in the name of KYC updates for some time now. In this, your bank account information is asked in the name of updating KYC. Direct people become victims of this and their account is emptied.
Cybercrime has increased a lot during the Corona period. Cyber frauds are targeting people in different ways. For some time now this game is running in the name of KYC Updation. In such a situation, the country’s largest public sector bank has warned its customers.
Actually a user tweeted to SBI and said that I have received a message. It says that your SBI account will be suspended. In such a situation, update the KYC of your account. Along with this a link has been shared. In response to this tweet, SBI said that if any such account holder receives such email, SMS, phone call and any link is shared together, then beware of such phone calls and messages. The bank has appealed to its customers not to share their personal details in such calls or messages. Especially do not share at all like User ID, Password, Debit Card Number, PIN / CVV / OTP.

This is how fraud happens
Nowadays, money is blown out of people’s accounts through fraud, phishing and smishing. In Vishing, a customer is implicated through a phone call. He is asked for information. First he is implicated by giving greed, then information is taken. The fraudsters pretend to be employees of the bank and do questions and answers.
