Proofs
Victims of KYC update fraud should gather the following evidence:
- Screenshots of Messages or Emails: Save any fraudulent emails, SMS messages, or social media communications claiming to be from the bank or institution asking for KYC updates.
- Bank Statements or Transaction Records: If any unauthorized transactions occurred as a result of the scam, keep a record of these, as they will help in the investigation.
- Details of Communication: Document any phone calls or messages received from the fraudster, including phone numbers, names, and any details they provided.
- Websites or URLs: Capture screenshots of fake websites or links that were provided by the scammer, especially if they closely resemble official bank websites.
- Forms or Documents: Retain any fake KYC forms or documents that were submitted by the fraudster, as they may contain clues about the fraudulent operation.
