Indian Bank Warns Users of Fake LPG Payment and KYC Update Scams to Steal Banking Info

Indian Bank warns of a widespread phishing campaign exploiting LPG-related panic: attackers send fake KYC/payment notices via SMS, WhatsApp and social media, redirect victims to credential-harvesting sites, distribute malicious APKs that exfiltrate banking data, and impersonate bank officials to trick users into sharing OTPs or installing malware. Authorities have received multiple complaints and customers are urged to verify requests through official channels, never click unsolicited links, avoid installing APKs from unknown sources, and report incidents to the national cybercrime helpline.
