Punjab National Bank has advised the common people not to click on any message sent to the name of the bank without thinking. Along with this, cross-check the messages being circulated on mediums like social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp. If someone asks for your personal information like name, Aadhaar number, PAN number and banking details like account number, credit/debit card, OTP by clicking on the link on the name of any organization, do not share these details even by mistake. By doing this your hard earned money will be in danger.
Cyber criminals are doing fraud in different names
Apart from offers, cyber criminals are looting customers in many other ways. In this, fraud is very common in the name of KYC and PAN update. This message is sent by fraudsters to customers that you should complete KYC or PAN update today itself to save your account from becoming inactive. For this, a link is also sent to them. After this, after clicking on this link, customers are asked for their personal information. After this, within a few minutes, these criminals steal lakhs of rupees from the customers’ accounts. If you get any such message, pay close attention to it and complete the KYC process by visiting the branch.
