Phishing is a technique employed by scamsters to illegally procure personal information like account numbers, Internet banking user ids and passwords, etc.

The most frequently used method is to send a spam email to a large database of email ids say, all gmail ids or all yahoo ids. The spam email is designed in such a way as to look exactly like an email sent by the targeted company / bank.

The email simply asks the recipient to click on a link and enter their user id and password. Different techniques are used to lure the recipient to click on the link: validation of account information, threat of account suspension, etc.

If you look carefully, the link will not lead you to our websites: http://www.axisbank.com or https://www.axisbank.co.in

Never click on any such link and never enter your login id and password without verifying the authenticity of the web page.
