Delhi News Desk:  If you have a bank account in the country's largest government bank, State Bank of India (SBI), then be careful immediately. The government has warned crores of bank customers. It has been said to be careful of fake messages coming in the name of SBI. In such a situation, if you are even a little careless, then you can suffer a big loss. PIB Fact Check has asked SBI customers to be careful of fake messages circulating on social media. If you or someone in your family has an account in State Bank of India (SBI), then this news is very useful for you.

The government has issued an alert for crores of account holders. The fact check unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) has alerted about a message circulating on social media, so if you are a customer of SBA, now a small mistake can cost you heavily. In view of the ever-increasing cases of spam and fraud, an alert has been issued for customers. Actually, cyber criminals are making people victims of fraud in new ways. In recent times, a new way of rewarding point scams has come to the fore. Customers have been asked to be careful about this.

Customers may get duped in the name of reward points

The message issued by PIB said that beware of messages coming in the name of State Bank of India. It asks customers to download an APK file to redeem reward points. It seems that this message has been sent by SBI, but this message is completely fake. SBI never sends links or APK files via SMS or WhatsApp. In such a situation, do not download unknown files or click on suspicious links to protect yourself from fraud. Always verify any such message directly through official SBI channels.
