State Bank of India (SBI) has a warning for its customers. In a post on microblogging site Twitter, the bank said that the fraudsters have found new ways and techniques to dupe people. SBI customers are requested to be alert on Social Media and not fall for any misleading and fake messages, SBI said in a tweet. The bank had cautioned its customers about the fake website that is doing the rounds online.
Making a fake social media account and website has become very common. So, it is very important for a customer to spot a fake one when carrying out financial transactions. Earlier, SBI had alerted people about the ongoing EMI fraud scheme. Scammers are calling up customers on the pretext of deferring the EMI payments, and asking them about their card details and eventually the OTP. This is one very common bank fraud, and several times the banks have informed the customers that they never call them for their OTP.
