The SBI customers must note the process in which a KYC scam is done. They must note that a message is sent to a random number asking the user to update their KYC by clicking on the link. Many SBI as well as non-SBI customers have received such messages. People must keep away from clicking the links to such messages.

SBI has also pointed out the things, one must do in order to stay safe. They are as follows:

1) One must not click on attachments or links received in SMS or e-mails from the unknown sources.
