Take Care in Banking

When somebody calls you from ICICI Bank or Axis Bank, and you have account there, take care while speaking with them.

One of my known has responded to them, they said that your Account is being updated and you will get a SMS so please give the number mentioned in SMS for confirmation that its your account. You will be able to get SMS for even Rs. 200/- transaction.

He lost his all money and left with just 200 in account :(

Never believe and respond to any callers from banks in fact, as no bankers has time to serve you over phone, always use common sense.

I urge all to not to even respond for calls giving low interest rate loans, free stay for 2 nights one days etc,. etc..

Just in care about CCIens.

Yours in service, DM

You know, transfer of money from ICICI account is not so easy... even we need to give 6 numbers mentioned overleaf of our ATM cum Debit card! but he has stolen money without even asking login password. its just bank official who can do like this, otherwise its not possible.

I have got many spam mails from duplicate bank sites, its a surprise that all are only from ICICI or Axis... why spammers and online thefts can't send SBI mails!!!

I even got Income Tax refund mail, the site was www.incometaxindia.co.in from where that mail was initiated... I know the site should be "gov.in". but greedy person falls in that blind well...
