Various types of fraud cases keep coming to light every day. In a recent case, criminals, posing as bank officers, defrauded a person from Nagpur of about Rs 10 lakh. Such cases happen frequently. SBI has alerted its customers regarding this and has told them about ways to avoid becoming victims of fraud.
This is how they become victims of fraud
Let us tell you that this is not the first such case. These thugs keep using various tricks to target innocent people. Sometimes they lure the customers and sometimes they exploit their fear. There have been many such cases in which victims out of greed shared the OTP. In many cases, people themselves gave information about their banking details.
SBI gave useful solutions
Given this, India's largest government bank SBI has cautioned the customers. SBI has also told about some measures to protect oneself from banking fraud. Let us know how to protect yourself from online fraud:
Visit the bank's website directly. Do not open the website from any other site or a link in the email.
To identify a fraud or clone website, look carefully at the domain name and URL.
