We all receive 100s of messages on a daily basis that lure us with banking, shopping and many such offers. While some messages among these are genuine, others, on the other hand, a mere fraud.

So to help you find the difference between a genuine text from your bank and a fraud one, ICICI Bank has shared three tips. And here are those:
Type 1 from sender BP-BeanYTM: Your KYC has been successfully updated. You are now eligible for a cashback of Rs 1,300. Claim your cashback visit, http://311agtr
ICICI says: KYC never ever earns you rewards of any kind. The bank also adds that the link in the message looks fake to.

Type 2 from sender Y-Cash: Congratulations, your account has been credited with Rs 33,000. Please fill in your details at http://i2urewards.cc/33 to process it.
ICICI claims: that no company will ever offer you such high amounts of cash. Maybe it could offer points for shopping in a wallet or something but never cash.
