Hyderabad: City Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar asked bankers to stay alert and act promptly to prevent cyber fraud targeting customers.
In a message, Sajjanar said bank staff acted as custodians of public money. Therefore, he urged them to remain vigilant and warn customers if they noticed signs of fraud.
He said victims of digital arrest scams and investment frauds often rushed to withdraw deposits or take loans against gold. In such situations, he advised bankers to closely observe customer behaviour.

He said unusual anxiety or sudden financial decisions could indicate fraud. Hence, bankers should question and verify such transactions before processing them.
Sajjanar noted that older people and pensioners remained highly vulnerable. Therefore, he asked banks to ensure they did not lose their lifetime savings to fraudsters.
He said bankers should immediately inform police if they detected suspicious transactions. They can report cases through helpline 1930 or dial 100.
At the same time, he urged citizens to remain cautious and follow police advisories. He said coordinated action by bankers, police and the public would help curb cyber crimes.
సైబర్ నేరాల నుండి సామాన్య ప్రజలను కాపాడడంలో బ్యాంకు ఉద్యోగుల పాత్ర ఎంతో కీలకమైంది.
ప్రజల సొమ్ముకు కాపలాదారులుగా ఉన్న బ్యాంకర్లు తమ కస్టమర్ల పట్ల మరింత బాధ్యతగా వ్యవహరిస్తూ, వారు ఏదైనా మోసానికి గురవుతున్నట్లు గమనిస్తే వెంటనే అప్రమత్తం చేయాలి.
