State Bank Of India [SBI] — fraudulent phone call

Address:

Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu, 625706

My father was SBI Pension account holder. He received a call like that today... they tricked him into giving them his atm card details and CVV...

They said I was eligible for a new photo card with twice the credit limit. Then they offered to redeem my points into cash for the new card. They said i would recieve an OTP which i must give them to help them convert the points into money and tranfer in into my new card.

But then they asked me for the OTP which i recieved on my mobile. I message said OTP for Rs.19, 999/- deducted towards an mpesa transaction

I refused to give them the OTP and they couldnt deduct my money. Immediately I withdraw money from my account.

SBI confirmed that these calls are fake calls made by tricksters using different cell phone numbers. The fraud numbers are [protected], [protected]

By Gods grace my money was not deducted as he did not share the OTP.
