How to verify it yourself

Install the bank's mobile app from the official store and confirm notices there. Your FD rates and rules appear on the Punjab & Sind Bank website that you type yourself, and deposits are opened at a branch or through the bank's own app, not to a number from a call. The branch or card number is the right contact for a failed transaction. A parcel story is a pressure trick, so end the call and tell someone you trust.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

How Safeavio helps

Paste the message or the link into Safeavio Sentinel (or share it to the app) and it shows a plain verdict with the reasons: urgency, a money demand, a lookalike address or an OTP request. It checks the text you give it and cannot promise to catch every scam.

Check it before you tap or pay

Safeavio Sentinel is a made-in-India Android app: paste a message or link, or scan a QR code, and get a plain verdict with the reasons. It helps you spot a scam; it does not promise to stop every one.
