Bank officials have warned against listening to such calls and refraining from giving out personal information to anyone as banks do not receive such information via SMS or phone call.
Muhammad Khurram Khan, a professor of cybersecurity at King Saud University in Riyadh, says that in the past, fraudsters used to use e-mail to commit such scams, but now they have started doing so through calls.
