Phishing e-mails
- Fraudsters send out e-mails asking for your confidential banking information like user ID, password, PIN, CVV, debit card grid-values etc.
- With this information the fraudster takes money out of your account or shops online.
- The e-mails appear to look like they have been sent from public authorities like The Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
| Do not respond to such e-mails, RBI or ICICI Bank will never ask for your confidential banking details. |
RBI has issued a clarification that it has never sent any e-mails and also appeals to the members of the public not to respond to such e-mails and not to share their bank account details with anyone for any purpose.
Online frauds
- Fraudsters send attractive offers to consumers through letters, e-mails, calls, SMS's etc luring them to invest in schemes or opportunities that sound too good to be true.
- The offers are apparently signed by senior authorities of RBI.
- They often ask consumers to remit money in an unknown account.
| Be alert, they are fake offers. RBI and ICICI Bank cautions you not to respond in any manner to such offers of moneys from abroad. |
RBI does not undertake any type of money arrangement, by whatever name called, and it does not take any responsibility for recovering moneys remitted in response to such fake communications.
