Hi,

I had read a lot about phishing scam, but never had a tryst with it. But
day before yesterday, I got this mail:

Dear ICICI Online Services Customer,

ICICI Bank, is here by announcing the New Security Upgrade. We've upgraded
our new SSL servers to serve our customers for a better and secure online
banking service, against any fraudulent activities. Due to this recent
upgrade, you are requested to verify your Online Banking account
information by following the reference below.

Reference
https://infinity.icicibank.co.in/BANKAWAY?Action.RetUser.Init.001=Y&AppSignonBankId=ICI&AppType=corporate&abrdPrf=N

Please Note - If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice
but to temporarily suspend your online banking account.

Thank for your Co-operation
Customers Service
ICICI Bank Limited.

I got suspicious and tried calling the bank and then mailed them to verify
the authenticity of the mail. They have given mail-ids and contact numbers
where you can clarify these issues. I forwarded them the mail as well.
Yesterday I got this reply from them, read it very carefully:

Dear Mr. Haresh,

Subject: Updating account information through link in e-mail

Thank you for writing to us and bringing this e-mail to our notice.
We wish to inform you that the e-mail you received is indeed fraudulent
and that it has not been sent by ICICI Bank nor Visa.
This is a scam called "phishing" ? and it involves Internet fraudsters who
send e-mail messages to lure personal information (Internet Banking User
id, passwords, credit / debit card numbers, bank account information, or
other personal and sensitive information) from unsuspecting victims.
Clicking on the link or even pasting it in the address bar of your browser
will take you to a fraudulent site.
ICICI Bank will not ask for this information via e-mail or even direct you
to a link online. If it happens that you have revealed your account
details
in response to this e-mail, please call and inform our 24-hour Customer
Care immediately.
We affirm that we are taking action to deal with the situation. You may
continue to transact with ICICI Bank by typing www.icicibank.com in the
address bar of your browser window without any apprehension. We reassure
you that we use the latest encryption and SSL security devices to make our
website safe for use. You can expect nothing less from a
technology-intensive bank as ours.
May we request you to forward this mail to others so they too could be
made aware of the perils of "phishing".
Please visit the 'Secure Banking' section on our website for "Safety Tips"
and more information on a secure online banking experience.
We reiterate that ICICI Bank acts at all times with diligence, in good
faith, and without any intent of prejudice to the interests of its
customers.
Thank you, again.

Sincerely,

Tina Solanki
Service Quality Manager

Please tell all your friends about this. This is a very serious scam and
many people have been caught in its trap.

Enjoy
