Bank customers alert! SBI, PNB, ICICI issue THIS important warning - Check here

India is currently struggling with the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the people of the country are already struggling on a mental, physical, and financial level, there are scammers out there, some of whom are cashing in on the plight of the people. 

Even last year, similar incidences were reported when some people, in the name of help, treatment, or giving help were looting others. To protect their customers from falling into the trap, three big banks, namely SBI, ICICI, and PNB have now issued alerts. The aim here is to make their customers aware of the ways thugs can cheat them. 

Here’s what SBI, PNB, and ICICI Bank are sharing with their customers.  

SBI - Beware of QR code scams 

India's largest bank, State Bank of India, has advised its customers that they should not scan the QR code at all if they are receiving money because when they scan the QR code, they do not get the money. For this, SBI has also released a video.

PNB - Don't fall for fake calls or messages

The Punjab National Bank has warned its customers that if someone tries to call you or tries to mislead you in one or another way, do not fall for it. Do not get involved in any fake calls or SMS.

ICICI Bank - Share with extra care

On the other hand, ICICI Bank has warned customers not to share banking or any financial information with anyone. It has reminded its customers that bank employees do not ask for details of their account by calling or sending SMS.
