Bank Email Scam

Of the many methods, scammers seem to use the bank scam email approach on a frequent basis.

Always treat any communication from the bank with skepticism and keep in mind:

Your bank
will NEVER ask you for your Internet banking password or your card PIN.
will NEVER ask you to download any software onto your computer
will NEVER ask you to grant the bank remote access to your computer

If you are not sure, ask for the caller’s details and call you bank to verify the caller

Never give out your personal or financial details
Don’t click on links in emails even if they seem legitimate
Always ensure there is a security symbol in your browser.
