A New Spam Caller...

EVENT: Mark the mobile number, 7482857440, as an unidentified spam caller. The caller claimed he is Branch Manager of SBI, Bankajora branch. He asks to provide proper KYC to continue the SBI transaction. It also claimed a text SMS has already been forwarded to my mobile number where it is requested to provide KYC; the claim precedes a wrong direction. I never received any text SMS from Bank in last fortnight. Finally, I asked the detail identity of this, so called Branch Manager of SBI. The two minute and thirty two seconds conversation manifests the intension; as the caller hesitates to reply back. However, it replied as a Branch Manager, SBI Bankajora Branch. However, it is dubious whether there is any SBI branch available in the said location. Now the spam caller hesitates to reply further as he is facing the BOUNCE BACK.    

He deliberately exercised to convince me either to provide proper KYC or to face SBI transaction failure.

It is quite surprise how this spam caller get the phone number and how does he confirm that I have SBI account. Is this a coincidental or planned call?

This is the second spam call received by me, dated 29th July, 2020. And the earlier received on 9th April, 2020.

WHAT TO DO: The event is to raise our alert system about our security. You might be the next target. No one knows who the next target of this spam caller group is. We always need to remember BANK NEVER ASKS THIS TYPE OF INFORMATION. However, your security is your responsibility. We should BOUNCE BACK this evil by raising our own security – NOT TO SHARE FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO ANY UNKNOWN EVEN IF HE EXPLAINS HE IS A BRANCH MANAGER.

I request all of you, hitting Like button is not the solution, however, share this alert notice among your Friends and relatives and appeal them to raise their alarm and throw a immense BOUNCE BACK.
