FRAUD
WARNING
Fraudulent use of the name and Logo of the State Bank of Pakistan
("State Bank").
The general public is hereby warned that the name of the State Bank
and its official logo and the name of the Banking Laws Review Commission
are being misused for fraudulent purposes. The most common method
involves victims being notified of monies to be paid to them, by
way of an inheritance, by the State Bank's Overseas Branch. To gain
access to these funds, victims are asked to provide personal information
e.g bank account number or mobile telephone number etc.
The public is hereby put on notice that the State Bank is the central
bank of Pakistan and has no office or branch in any other country
of the world. Further, the central bank does not handle such payments.
Any message purported to have been sent by State Bank's overseas
branch or office or the Banking Law Review Commission, is fraudulent.
Any scheme using the name or logo of State Bank of Pakistan outside
Pakistan whether in relation to payment of or release of funds or
otherwise, should be reported to law enforcement authorities in
the recipient's home jurisdiction. State Bank will take stern action
against any personal/party misusing its name. |
