Ok, another novel phishing game is in town. I got a text message saying that I was eligible for an IT refund of seventy thousand-odd rupees and asking me to submit a formal request in a link provided in the message. Don't miss the official-sounding ID of the sender...1/n
Since the message came twice in a span of four days, I decided to check where the link led me to....and this is where it took me....a replica of the IT dept site...2/n
I decided to explore further and click on the bank link....I chose SBI and this is where it led me...a fake home page of SBI asking me to enter my user name and password!!!! 3/n
I went back to test another bank link again and clicked on the suspicious-sounding "All Corporate A/C & other banks not listed above"(underlined)...and where did it lead me to?...4/n
It led me to no less than a fake of the RBI's own home page and the page asked me to input details of my internet banking ID, password etc. What's more, there's also an undertaking by "RBI" that it will take full responsibility for securing my IT refund!!! 5/n
Friends, please be warned. Will the concerned authorities please investigate this audacious phishing attempt? @FinMinIndia @nsitharaman @RBI @TheOfficialSBI @chennaipolice_
This is the image for the link that led me to the fake RBI site....
And here's the fake RBI home page....
