MUMBAI: State cyber officials have warned people not to fall victims to the two frauds that they have across on social media wherein scamster has posted fake links of a cooperative bank and fake website of a gas company for carrying out online banking frauds.
Cyber experts felt that recently the scamster is coming out with innovative modus operandi luring people with job offers, earning banking reward points through fake links and advertisements to steal confidential data that can be used to extort money, or the KYC documents asked to share can be used to blackmail.
On Saturday, the cyber officials tweeted: “Fake messages have been circulating under the RBL Bank name. These messages are posted on social media with a link (rblrewards.com) luring people to redeem points from the credit card to earn rewards.” Those clicking the link end up compromising with their confidential bank data.
