PNB Customers? Punjab National Bank issues ALERT about FAKE complaint portal; asks to register complaint only on official website
Punjab National Bank (PNB) has warned its customers and has asked them to beware of fake complaint portal of the bank.
As the central government and state government of India are trying their best to boost digitalization in the country, the number of cybercrimes and frauds has also increased. Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, banks have also started providing most of the banking services to the customers online.
In such a situation, it is very important for the people to understand if the information provided or websites showing up on internet are fake or official.
