Cyber Note: How to Stay Safe from Call Fraud and Emotional Scams?

Dear @tanbeer_khan

Maybe you’ve fallen victim to a loan scam. We have no information regarding an “Alkhair Bank.” You should contact the Banking Ombudsman of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to file a complaint against this entity. Follow these instructions:

If you believe the “bank” doesn’t exist, file an FIR (First Information Report) at your local police station. This will initiate an investigation into the fraud.

Protect yourself:

  • Never share your personal financial information with entities you don’t trust.
  • Be wary of promises that seem too good to be true, if they involve quick, easy loans with no fees.
  • Do your research before dealing with any financial institution, and verify their legitimacy with the RBI or other reputable NBFC sources.
