Several State Bank of India customers have received a message informing them that their Yono account has been deactivated and they need a PAN card to update their Yono account. Now PIB has informed the people about this that such messages are fake.
At the same time, the government fact checker PIB has asked SBI customers to be alert from such messages. A #Fake message issued in the name of SBI is asking customers to update their PAN number to avoid closure of their account. PIB said never to respond to emails/SMS asking to share your personal or banking information.
Along with this, it has also been said from PIB that SBI or any other bank does not ask for any personal information related to your bank. In such a situation, if any bank tries to take information from you in any way, then be alert.
What should SBI customers do if they receive a fake message?
If you are also asked for a similar fake message or a fake message in any other way, then you should complain about it immediately. The government official fact checker said that customers can call the helpline number 1930 at phishing@sbi.co.in to complain about the fake message and also know its veracity.

“Dear Customer your SBI YONO account is closed today just contact now and update your PAN number in the following link”. In this the name of the ‘sender’ was given as Rajesh. Along with this, a link was also given, by clicking on which it is being asked to update, so do not click on any link.
