🚨 Scam Alert – How presence of mind saved ₹3.5 Lakhs! 🚨

[zoro]

I saw a LinkedIn post recently shared a shocking experience that’s worth everyone’s attention.

They received an annual fee charge on their SBI Credit Card, even though it was supposed to be a lifetime free card. After failing to reach SBI customer care, they reached out to the official handle on Twitter. Immediately after sharing their number via DM, they got a call that appeared legitimate.

The caller:

• Claimed to be from SBI
• Asked if they had ICICI netbanking
• Requested them to download the iMobile app for charge reversal via eNACH
• Gave a professional-looking website link: crcf.bank.sbi (appeared more authentic than the real SBI site!)
• Asked them to register using their card’s last 4 digits as PIN

⚠️ This was the red flag. The scammer was actually trying to trick them into approving fraudulent transactions via eNACH/Cardless Cash Withdrawal.

When they re-verified with SBI on X, the bank confirmed the site was not legitimate.

👉 The key takeaway:

• Never trust unsolicited calls, even if they sound professional.
• Don’t share banking details or approve eNACH/Cardless Cash Withdrawal on someone’s instructions.
• Always confirm official websites from your bank’s homepage directly, not through search or third-party blogs.

💡 Fun fact: Some blogs (like this one: mywestbengal.com/sbi-complaint-portal) even claim such sites are official. In reality, they’re part of the scam ecosystem.


Stay alert, verify twice, and don’t let scammers win.

This government itself is a scam. Then why should they take action on scammers.

crcf.bank.sbi is genuine website for registering complaints with sbi. even official sbi website links it -> https://sbi.co.in/web/customer-care/customer-care

• Gave a professional-looking website link: crcf.bank.sbi (appeared more authentic than the real SBI site!)
• Asked them to register using their card’s last 4 digits as PIN

That website is totally genuine. Its the portal to register a complaint.

Dot SBI (.sbi) is a Top Level Domain (TLD) managed by SBI itself. No one else can make a website ending with .sbi without the permission of SBI managment.

That Linkedin post is totally about engagement farming do not trust it.

After reading OPs post i thought they somehow got a domain under sbi's tld and it was concerning, looked one comment down and found out that's not the case

There is no possible way to get a .sbi domain without SBI's explicit permission. The only way to get a domain under .sbi tld is to hack the registry which is nearly impossible.
