There has also been a change in the methods of online fraud between the digital economy and the changing nature of banking. As people have started doing more online transactions, the methods of cheating have also gone online. Sometimes in the name of card being blocked and sometimes in the name of winning a lottery, innocent people’s hard earned money is made to disappear. HDFC Bank, the largest private sector bank, has warned its customers about such a new method of cheating.
Fraud in the name of KYC
In fact, these days a gang of vicious thugs is targeting the customers of HDFC Bank. If you are also a customer of HDFC Bank then be careful. In this new method of fraud, the customers of HDFC Bank are being threatened in the name of KYC and then they are being duped. Thugs first tell such customers that their KYC has expired. In the name of getting KYC done again, thugs are emptying people’s bank accounts.
Customers are getting such messages
Many customers of HDFC Bank have received messages regarding the alleged KYC in the past. In messages being sent from different numbers, customers are being told that their KYC has not been done or KYC has expired. The messages being sent to people are as follows, KYC pending for your HDFC Bank account. Update it by clicking on this link, otherwise your account will be blocked.
Bank alerted
HDFC Bank has alerted its customers regarding this. The bank has said that do not pay attention to the suspicious messages being received regarding updating KYC or PAN and do not forget to click on the links being sent along with it. Save yourself from such thugs. Always keep in mind that the messages will be sent from the official ID HDFCBK/HDFCBN by the bank and the link will start from hdfcbk.io.
precaution is the only protection
The bank has asked customers not to pay attention to messages sent from any other ID. Along with this, do not click on the wrong looking links. If you do not take this precaution, then you will lose your hard earned money and savings.
Cheating is also happening in this way
Let us tell you that earlier recently many people have been cheated in the name of electricity connection. People are told that their electricity bill has not been deposited and the connection will be disconnected if it is not deposited soon. A link is also given to submit it. Those who fall in the trap, they are cheated by thugs.
