There is a new trend of banking fraud wherein a customer would receive a link, pop-up, phone call, SMS or Whatsapp message from fraudsters giving warning that his/her bank account would be suspended due to wrong date of birth and asking to update his/her account by updating KYG (Know Your Customer) by clicking on certain link(s). Fraudsters would also call unaware customers asking his ATM number, PIN or OTP or other bank details or personal information. Such communications are sent or created by fraudsters to trick customers into parting with his credentials leading to loss of valuable hard-earned money of customers.
 
Mizoram Police advises public to never respond to any pop-up, link, email SMS or Phone call seeking personal information of bank customer, mobile number, password. ATM numbers, etc. Banks never ask for such information. It is advised and appealed to the general public not to give any personal information and bank account details through pop-up, link, email, SMS or calls.
