The bank added that SBI or its employees will never ask for sensitive information such as account numbers, debit card details, internet banking credentials, or OTP. The bank also advised customers not to click on third party links.
“Beware of individuals/parties that can ask for such details on the pretext of being from SBI,” the public bank added. The bank also urged customers not to share unknown links and reply to fake bank email IDs.
In cases of fraud, customers can register their complaints to cybercrime at https://cybercrime.gov.in/. You can also call dial helpline number 155260 to register cybercrime complaints, the bank said that in a video with its tweet.
