Beware of Online Scams

Fraudsters send attractive offers through letters, e-mails, calls, SMS messages asking you to deposit money to participate in schemes that "sound too good to be true". Later, they withdraw the money and stop further communication. Here is a list of the most common frauds:

Contests and lotteries, asking you to make a payment in order to receive your prize. Job offers / applications for jobs / offers from large corporations and public institutions asking for your confidential banking information. Intimation of gifts and inheritances from a foreign country, asking you for personal information or money. Schemes offering very high returns on small investments.

Make sure you don't respond to such fraudulent messages.   To know more, visit the "Safe Banking" section at www.icicibank.com.
