Is 'hdfcbk.co' really HDFC Bank ?

[PoBoy]

Or is this a fraud site ?

I just got a SMS saying that I have not made contactless/ecommerce online payments for more than two years. Therefore this facility will be disabled after 10 days. Unless I follow a link (provided) to hdfcbk.co .

But I have made online payments. The last one was just two days ago to Amazon.

Hdfc has only one url https://www.hdfcbank.com/
I daily get paytm otps few times a day on a no. which was never online at all..
So scamsters are kinda noobs in certain practices..

I didn't . Looked a bit shady. But the site hdfcbk.co has been registered years back it seems. Why hasn't HDFC Bank done anything yet ?

EDIT : and the SMS was sent by VM-HDFCBN. So these guys are not total amateurs.

The URL itself raises a red flag considering the SMS lingo. It's probably created by scammers or cyber-squatters.

Ya. But how many people would notice that ? Or the absence of https ? I'm referring to non-techie people.

Shouldn't HDFC Bank have done something long ago. These guys even had the last 4 digits of my debit card.
