The millions of customers of Punjab National Bank, the second-largest public sector bank in India, have been alerted to the fraudulent messages that fraudsters are spreading. These bogus messages, which pretend to be commemorating the bank's 130th anniversary, are actually attempts to steal money from consumers by impersonating the bank. PNB has responded by advising clients to exercise caution and refrain from clicking on any links or disclosing personal information without proper authorization.

PNB Warns Customers Against Cyber Crime

PNB has also used Twitter to warn its clients that it has not published any specials in honour of its 130th anniversary and to refrain from clicking on any links that may lead to such deals. PNB has also offered some helpful cybersecurity advice to guard against such phoney texts. Customers are advised not to click on any messages received under the bank's name without first carefully reviewing them and to double-check any communications sent on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp.
