The Bank has highlighted five points in its ‘important announcement’. And they are the following:
– Informing customers about winning the lottery and asking them to contact an SBI number.
– Please be aware that SBI never calls or asks for personal or account-specific information through emails, SMS, calls and WhatsApp calls.
– There is no lottery scheme or lucky customer gift offers going on – please stay safe and think before you fall into any such traps. Cybercriminals are waiting for just one mistake – please do not trust such fake callers or forwarded messages.
The SBI also asked customers to widely share this message with people to save them from any such frauds.
