BANKS STEP UP VIGIL AGAINST CARD FRAUDS

In phishing ( a type of a fraud), a customer gets an email that deceptively claims to be from the bank and asks for account sensitive information, credit card numbers, passwords and PIN. It often resembles a notice from a bank and misleads customers. As a measure to educate customers about frauds that may happen via internet, the banks regularly issues letters to its customers warning them to be wary of fraud web sites and not to disclose personal details over the internet.
