Just another copy-paste message from twitter support, ignore it. This consent message is from ICICI itself

Its something like ticking a box that states “i have read the rules and regulations” (Namesake thing). Received similar Texts when i applied for Kotak and Axis CCs too

I was asked on call by ICICI representative when applying for credit card to send this.. as I mentioned in my first comment on the thread, it is to provide our consent. AFAIK, it is legit.
its legit from icici, for hard enquiry or cibil check consent for cc processing

You can talk to cc and ask abt it if you feel its fraud.
Legit
This is consent to check your score.

Bro,Don’t conclude just like that.
Many banks send such message for asking your consent to proceed for credit bureau inquiry.
You got this SMS because YOU applied for credit card or your agent applied on behalf of you.
SBI also send for same procedure.
demerius2020 wrote:yes i can but have anyone else done that already or i will be the first person in the universe to do that?
The message sender is icici itself
Somebody posted a method to check senders validity, Google it

i hold 3 SBI CC and NONE has this SMS sending req.
AST yes , means yes to standing instruction .. some kind of token payment
i applied through ICICI offical website and received application number and all thru email , they also attached pdf of my filled application below it there was CArd assist program by CPP assistence pvt ltd and wallet assitence rogram by "one assist onsumer sol. pvt ltd " i think the entire drama is for that only , in the emailed pdf form copy by icici currently it is unchecked
i remember at the time of aplicaiton to sbi card also there was call of guy garbage talk for 15 min non stop only to sell me some insurance service on sbi card , i think this is similar
Modus operandi : they will claim they send some message , which obviously u didnt get coz in reality they didt send ,now they ask u to send AST YES which is basically YES for these card insurance service which is chargeaable , so these assit service box get chcked on application , if u ask they they will alwasy tell they r speaking "on the behalf of ICICI" and ompany name as PRIVATE corp in reality they are cheap salesman
holders of ICICI platinum did u faced this too?

Watch the video @ 9:50 he is saying about the message of AST and related info stated that it was legit and that's how he got his credit card.
