what is AST YES to 9222208888 does?

I think it does a hard enquiry on Cibil.. bank considers this text msg as your consent to do that.. check for other dimers comments as well

mat bhej bhai

chahe legit ho ya na ho

its legit from icici, for hard enquiry or cibil check consent for cc processing 

Legit
This is consent to check your score.

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?

No it's not fraud....if you want to apply for credit card in icici....you have to send AST YES.... without this bank employee can't process your credit card application....

When I applied for ICICI credit card in imobile app i too received the same call from the same number you posted and suggested to send AST YES to the same number, i also checked I got this on YouTube., Posting this info for you, may be it'll help.. 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.

I also get Call from +91-7060949410 & +91-9920706086 regarding  to send message as follows: -

Dear Customer, we need consent to use your details for a Credit Bureau check on your ICICI Bank Credit Card application. To provide consent, SMS AST YES to 9222208888/9215676766. T&C apply.

I lost my 124789/- Rupees. Don't send any message or reply to them. you also loss to much.

Do bank person calls and ask to send AST YES??
