Am I the only one or do all ICICI customers and many non-customers routinely get legitimate looking ICICI bank communication sent via domains which are not icicibank.com and un-subscription forms(hosted on non https server again not icicibank.com) which ask for way more information about you than is required to un-subscribe you. Infact the so called donotcall forms might be used to generate illegitimate leads as opposed to un-subscribing a person who has been spammed and tried to un-subscribe in good faith.

There is a fraud waiting to happen on a large scale and ICICI Bank is responsible. The sleazy Internet practices of clueless, security un-conscious Indian banks and other businesses needs a large doze of self-regulation and infusion of clue.

Indian banks please get a clue. Do not send communication to people who didn't sign up for it. There is no point in a person trying to un-subscribe from a Lead Management System, as everytime a marketing moron decides that he can use the database to start marketing yet another useless and dishonest banking product. Ethics and 'non-fee based' activities of Indian banks obviously don't go together.

For e.g. its dishonest to run ads for apartments on portals and then using that leads database to try and sell retail banking products. Using the leads for a purpose other than they were collected is un-ethical and counter productive.
