State Bank of India (SBI), the country’s largest bank, has warned its customers of KYC fraud. By giving a message on Twitter, the bank told its customers that they should not do any such negligence which may lead to fraud and withdrawal of full money from the account.
The bank has said by tweeting that if any link comes to a customer through SMS, then do not click on it even by forgetting. This mistake can cost them dearly and the entire money can be withdrawn from their account.
The bank has also asked its customers to take special care about the SMS they receive in the name of SBI. SBI has cautioned that think many times before hastily clicking on a link from any unknown unknown source, otherwise your bank account will be empty in a moment.
According to State Bank, such unintentional links can invite phishing attacks. SBI took to microblogging site Twitter to alert its customers about the major incidents of banking frauds, explaining how one mistake can result in people’s bank accounts being emptied.

Actually, customers often keep getting messages from the bank. Some messages are from the bank, while there are some messages which seem to have come from the bank but they are fake. For example, a message about getting KYC done for a bank account.
A link is given in the fake message related to KYC update and by clicking on it, one is asked to complete the KYC of the account. If you take that link seriously then your account will be empty in few minutes.
