In one of its recent tweets, SBI has again warned its customers of KYC frauds. The tweet from the official Twitter handle of SBI said, "The reality of #KYCFraud has proliferated across the country. The target is sent a text message asking to update their KYC by clicking on a link by someone acting as a bank/company representative. Report such scams at cybercrime.gov.in."

 

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.

2) One must not download any mobile app based on telephone calls or emails from unknown sources

3) One must never share sensitive details like Aadhaar number, date of birth, mobile number, debit card number, PIN number, CVV, internet banking user ID and password, OTP and others

4) The individuals must know that the bank never sends links to update KYC

The bank users must remember that in case of any cyber fraud they report at cybercrime.gov.in.
