Online fraud has peaked in India since digital transactions increased. It has become very important to be careful while doing online transactions and taking online services from various merchants. These frauds can be avoided to a large extent if the account holder is attentive and aware. ICICI Bank, in an email to its customers, outlined measures to avoid banking fraud.
ICICI Bank has shared three tips that will help in identifying fraud
First, BP-BeanYTM: Your KYC has been successfully updated. You are now eligible for a cashback of Rs 1,300. Click this link to claim your cashback journey, http: // 311agtr
ICICI Bank says that it does not provide any type of KYC reward. It is clearly fake. The link above is fake.
Y-Cash 2: When such a message arrives, congratulations are written, Rs 3,30,000 has been deposited in your account. For this process, please fill in your details at http://i2urewards.cc/33.
ICICI Bank says that no company ever gives such a large amount of cash for free and the message given above seems fake. Stay away from such messages.

ICICI Bank says pay attention to suspicious IDs. This is fake.
