Scamsters clone ICICI Bank website
Scamsters seem to be giving bankers a tough time. After benami account scam, banks now have to deal with a new kind of cyber crime called 'phishing'.
Phishing is a fraudulent way of acquiring credit card, personal identification numbers and banking passwords using Internet and email by masquerading as a trusted source.
ICICI Bank filed a complaint with Bandra Kurla Complex police station on February 7 after its customers complained about being asked to confirm their account details through a seemingly innocuous e-mail ID (icici@icicibank.-com).
When the cyber crime cell began investigating, they found that a scamster had managed to get hold of customer details and used it to purchase goods on the Internet.
ICICI Bank website had also been cloned. At the cloned site, www.iciciibank.net, you could buy everything, from travel to financial services, gifts & computers. It also offered free online gambling and education facility.
