Phishing is a technique used for illegally
capturing the personal information such as Account Number, Corporate
Banking Passwords etc. The most frequently used method is to send
spam mails to the user’s e-mail id. The Spam mail exactly
looks like an e-mail sent by a legitimate authority. The e-mail
simply asks the recipient to click on a link and enter their user
id and password.
Never
click on any such link and never enter your login id and password
without verifying the authenticity of the web page. |
Your email address can be obtained from publicly available sources
or through randomly generated lists. Therefore, if you receive a
fake email that appears to be from Eximbank, it does
not mean that your email address, name, or any such information
has been taken / derived from our system.
IMPORTANT:
Eximbank does not ask for personal security details
like passwords on the email, phone or otherwise. |
Never disclose your password to anyone, not even to the
bank's staff.
In case you get an email asking you to enter your personal security
details or a Bank staff approaches you to disclose your password,
please report to us. You can send an email to support@eximbank.com
Be cautious about the fake e-mails asking for your personal security
details.
Some fake e-mails may offer jobs or prize and you may be asked
to provide your personal information such as credit
card number, PIN number, passwords etc. Never get lured by such
emails. Some fake emails may also contain a virus known as a “Trojan
Horse” that can record your keystrokes or could trigger
background installations of key logging software or viruses onto
your computer. The virus may be in an attachment or can be activated
via a link in the email. You should not respond to these unsolicited
mails without verifying the authenticity.
Fake mails may direct you to counterfeit website which looks like
your valid site.
However, if you type, or cut and paste, the URL into a new Web
browser window and it does not take you to a legitimate Web site,
or you get an error message, it was probably just a cover for a
fake Web site. The address bar and padlock symbol that appear in
your browser window can be faked. To make sure you are on our site,
type in https://www.eximbank.comand see if you get to the same place.
Fraudulent e-mails and websites can be very convincing and fraudsters
are frequently inventing new methodologies to get you to disclose
your security details.
