The police said the fraudulent messages contain links that claim to help victims update their bank details and redeem their SBI Reward Points.
The Tamil Nadu police's Cyber Crime Wing has issued an user advisory over the SBI Reward Points Scam after it received 73 complaints in two months. “In recent incidents, hackers have used compromised WhatsApp accounts to send fake messages about ‘SBI Reward Points’ to various official and personal WhatsApp groups. The hackers may also change the existing group icons and names to ‘State Bank of India’,” a statement issued by the state police said.
