Fake Union Bank of India messages and links

Union Bank of India texts about inactive fees, Vyom updates and cashback, with the details to look at before you tap anything.

A public-sector bank with savings accounts, loans, deposits and the Vyom mobile banking app. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Union Bank of India in SMS, WhatsApp and email messages. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.

Lines used in fake Union Bank of India messages

Union Bank of India account holds Rs 1,000 as inactive fee, update now to avoid it
Your Vyom app is outdated and will stop, get the new build here
Union Bank debit card is on hold, share details to unlock it
Union Bank rewards cashback is ready, verify your account number

How to verify it yourself

Vyom should be installed from the official store only, and any alert about your Union Bank account can be checked inside it. Open the bank's website by typing the address. Police do not conduct investigations through a video call, so a caller who says that is not who they claim. A pension record can be updated at the branch or through the bank's own channels. Do not send photos of your passbook or card to strangers.

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.
