Exclamation Alert: PNB Phishing Email

Today i received an Email claiming to be from PNB describing that somebody has attempted to log into your account but failed so we have limited your online access and provided a link to resolve the problem which linked to a phishing site.

i got this Email on my both Email ID's, GMail classified it as spam but Yahoo didn't. Exact Email is provided below:



Phishing Site looks exact copy of the original. it even has net_pnb_online in it's URL.
PNB Phishing Site

I normally use Saved Passcard or Bookmarked link to log into my Bank Accounts. So other account holders are advised to take precautions and not respond to such Emails and if you did, change your login and Transaction password immediately.

Please remember, netbanking password reset needs intervention of the Bank either through application at the branch or through helpline.
It can not be done online. So simply ignore all such e-mails.

Though Passsword Reset requires Bank intervention but password can be changed online causing unnecessary inconvenience to the user.

A few days ago, I received an e-mail in my bsnl inbox that they are resetting all the passwords and please furnish my user id and password so they can verify, otherwise they will disable my account ! I found that it was from some UK based website. I simply deleted the e-mail. There is no problem with my internet. Anyway how to report to BSNL about this ? Does anyone have any idea ? Please reply.
