What is this scam?

A message claims your bank account, card or YONO/net banking will be blocked today unless you update KYC or PAN through a link. The link is a fake bank page that steals your login, OTP and card details.

What the message looks like (example)

Dear Customer your SBI YONO account will be blocked today. Please update your PAN card immediately click here http://sbi-kyc-update.xyz/login

🚩 Warning signs

  • Link is not your bank's official domain (Indian banks use .bank.in or their known site)
  • Threat of blocking 'today'
  • Sent from a 10-digit mobile number, not a bank header like XX-SBIBNK

✅ What to do

  • Banks never ask for KYC through SMS links. Visit the branch or open the bank's official app.
  • Never share OTP, PIN, CVV or passwords.
