SBI took to social media to aware its customers about this cyber fraud and tweeted, " We urge our customers not to share their banking details with anyone. Don't fall for scammers impersonating as SBI, we never ask for personal details like Password/OTP/CVV/Card Number over the phone. Be alert. Be safe."
This new form of cyber fraud has recently been noticed where in fraudsters are using victim's FD account to siphon off money. They first create FD account of the target victims with the help of their net banking details and transfer some amount. Then they take advantage of the vulnerability of the victim and ask OTP posing as bank official. Once the victim shares the OTP, the cyber criminals transfer the entire FD amount into their own account.
