ICICI Bank: Notice of Bank Fraud: In light of the ever-evolving landscape of financial fraud, ICICI Bank has implemented a novel approach to warn its clientele about this kind of activity.

The banking industry's digitization has simplified people's tasks. Many tasks that formerly required a trip to the bank branch may now be quickly completed from home. But this has also made the risks greater. Fraud involving digital banking is becoming more and more common. The fact that violent criminals are always coming up with new ways to trick innocent people out of their savings and hard-earned money is what makes them the most dangerous. ICICI Bank, a private sector bank, has alerted its clientele about one such novel technique.

An email notice was issued by the bank.
