The warning is urgent: particularly brazen fraudsters are going around. This time, they are targeting unsuspecting bank customers.
The notice on the home page of Oberbank e-banking cannot be missed: “Attention! Increased incidence of fraud attempts,” the institute appeals to pay special attention.
And further: the criminal activities of fraudsters on the Internet and the phone are increasing. “We therefore ask you to be generally cautious and to pay particular attention to the following current fraud patterns,” Oberbank says in the direction of its customers.
The company points to three scams at once:
Phishing e-mails are currently circulating, claiming to come from Oberbank. The prompts in them – click on a link, apply for products online, etc. – should not be followed under any circumstances.
In addition, the bank warns against text messages with only one goal: to get as much data about customers and their money as possible.
The institution strongly advises its customers not to respond to calls related to emails and SMS. If you have an alleged fraudster on the other end of the line, it is best to hang up immediately and contact your Oberbank advisor.
