Do not respond to phishing E-mails claiming to be from Reserve Bank of India or SBBJ

Dear Customer,

It has come to the notice of the Reserve Bank of India that E-mails are
being sent in its name "inviting bank customers to update their bank account
details ".

The Reserve Bank clarifies that it has NOT sent any such E-mails. The
Reserve Bank or SBBJ never issue communication asking for bank account
details for any purpose. The Reserve Bank appeals to members of public not
to respond to such E-mails and not to share their bank account details with
anyone for any purpose.

The fraudsters also send attractive offers to public through letters,
E-mails, mobile phones, SMSs, etc. To lend credence to such offers, the
communication is often sent on/ from letterheads /websites that appear to be
like that of some public authorities like the Reserve Bank of India. The
offers are apparently signed by top executives/senior officials of such
authorities. However, only the names of the officials may be correct but
their signatures are faked. The offer document would contain contact details
of a so-called RBI officer working in some department in the Reserve
Bank/Public Authorities. The Reserve Bank cautions the members of public
against responding in any manner to such offers of moneys from abroad.

Members of public are also cautioned against making any remittance towards
participation in such schemes/offers from unknown entities since such
remittances are illegal and any resident in India collecting and
effecting/remitting such payments directly/indirectly outside India is
liable to be proceeded against for contravention of the Foreign Exchange
Management Act, 1999. Such offers are fraudulent and the public should
immediately register a complaint with the local police/ cyber-crime
authorities when they receive such offers or become a victim of any such
fraud.

Bank does not undertake any type of money arrangement, by whatever name
called, and it does not take any responsibility for recovering moneys
remitted in response to such bogus communication.

Warm regards,

State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur
