We reproduce the alert message published by Indian Banks’ Association in their website about phishing attempt made by some fraudsters, on the customers of various Banks, including that of Indian Overseas Bank. We once again request our customers to be alert on such attempts and not to share their passwords and PIN numbers to any body through internet and Mail. Reproduced text from IBA: Attention It has come to our notice that some fraudsters are sending phishing messages in the name of Indian Banks’ Association to entice gullible bank customers to part with their ID and password. The message reads as under:- " Indian Banks’ Association provides an additional layer of security for online purchases by helping to prevent unauthorized individuals from using your ATM Card to buy online To identify yourself, Please click on the link below and follow the Simple step http://www.iba.org.in/startpage.asp" It will be noted that while our address of the website is www.iba.org.in, the mischief monger created a template similar to our home page of the IBA website. We request all customers to please take due care of such messages purported to have been sent by IBA and do not share your password/ID under any circumstances. Place : Mumbai Date : July 6, 2009 |
