Alarmed over the rise in attempted 'Vishing' frauds, SBI Card has alerted customers not to fall prey to fraudulent callers and disclose key information like credit card PIN and passwords. A 'Vishing' call involves a fraudulent caller posing as an employee from a financial institution/bank/credit card firm, asking for credit card/bank account as well as certain other personal details. After procuring details such as CVV, One Time Password, PIN, Internet Account password the fraudsters may attempt fraudulent transactions on your credit card/bank account. "We at SBI Card never ask for any such sensitive and confidential information like CVV, PIN, One Time Password (OTP) and Internet Login User Id and Password," the SBI Card stressed. SBI Card is the third largest credit card provider in the country with 2.86 million customers.
