The cyber crime occurred despite several warnings. No bank ever sends any email/SMS requests for customers’ Internet Banking Login ID, Password, Credit/Debit card numbers, Bank account numbers, or seek such sensitive information over phone. If the customers receive a message of this type or telephonic call that appears to be from any bank do not respond. Instead, lodge a police complaint against the callers.
