A viral message has been circulating whereby scammers are claiming that the bank accounts of India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) will be blocked if their PAN card details are not updated. The fraudsters are also providing a link to be clicked for the ‘KYC login update’.
The viral message with the header Indiapost payment bank KYC login reads, “Dear user your India post payment bank account has been blocked today please updated your PAN Card immediately. Click here the link…”
“This claim is Fake. IndiaPostOffice never sends any such messages. Never share your personal & bank details with anyone,” tweeted PIB.
