SBI Warns Against Fraudulent Investment Schemes Promising High Monthly Returns
The State Bank of India (SBI) has warned investors against fraudulent schemes promising unusually high returns, such as 30% monthly profits. These scams often use pressure tactics, unfamiliar social media influencers, and insecure payment methods like UPI or crypto gift cards to lure victims. SBI advises verifying investment offers through trusted financial channels and official platforms, cautioning that if a deal sounds too good to be true, it likely is. This warning is part of SBI's National Cyber Security Month Special Campaign 6.0.
