SBI asks its customers not to respond to suspicious calls

India’s largest lender the State Bank of India has issued a warning to its customers about frauds via phishing through various modes of communication such as messages, email, and tweets.

 

Spreading awareness among customers about KYC frauds that have been doing the rounds, the bank shared two numbers and asked its customers to not respond to any suspicious calls. SBI customers have also been receiving awareness emails on their registered email IDs regarding online fraud.

 

The SBI tweeted from its official handle: “Do not engage with these numbers, & don’t click on phishing links for KYC updates as they aren’t associated with SBI. SBI Customers are getting calls from two nos. -+91-8294710946 & +91-7362951973 asking them to click on a phishing link for KYC update. Requesting all SBI customers not to click on any such phishing/suspicious link.”

 

The latest message from the bank is also aimed at ensuring the safety of its customers. “If a customer receives a phishing email, then he/she can report such matters to the bank at report.phishing@sbi.co.in”, the bank said in a mail.

 

With the rising number of fraud cases, SBI is also ramping up its efforts to protect the hard-earned money of its customers. According to a report by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), banks in India reported a total of 4,071 fraud cases between April and September 2021.
