What it is?
A phishing scam is a fraudulent scheme where scammers attempt to steal personal, financial, or login information by pretending to be a legitimate entity, such as a bank, company, or trusted organisation.
How it works?
1. Scammers often send deceptive emails, messages, or calls that seem to be from legitimate sources, cleverly using official logos and language to trick people.
2. The messages typically contain clickable hyperlinks designed to trick you into entering your online banking credentials or personal information.
3. Victims are tricked into entering sensitive information, such as usernames, passcode, or credit card details, which is then stolen by the scammers.
What do I do?
1. Be cautious of unsolicited messages asking for personal or financial information.
2. Always ensure you log into your banking account through your bank's official website.
3. Pay close attention to the web link before proceeding with your banking activities. Double-check that the URL is correct and starts with ""https://"" to ensure you are on a secure, legitimate site.
4. Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown or suspicious sources.
