It has come to the notice of the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) that a fraudulent e - mail has been sent & signed in its name as `Reserve Bank of India'.
The mail has referred to provisions of Banking Regulation act, 1949 & Prevention of Money Laundering Rules, 2005 and informs bank account holders about the Reserve Bank setting up a new 24 × 7 Centralised Monitoring Centre to monitor financial transaction flow from the Internet Banking Accounts.
The E -mail then gives a link asking bank account holders to update their account information for updation in their database.
The RBI clarifies that it has not sent any such mail & has not set up any 24 × 7 Centralised Monitoring Centre to monitor financial transaction flow from the Internet Banking Accounts. Members of the public receiving such E - mails are cautioned not to open the mail or / attachment and / or try to download it on their computer or / provide their data on such links as it may lead to their data being compromised.
