Fraudsters in their schemes use military themes even in telephone conversations on behalf of bank employees.
An example of such a scheme: fraudsters call and pretend to be bank security, ask for confidential card and account information through a routine war-related background check, and after receiving this information, embezzle money.
What information can fraudsters ask for?
- three numbers on the back of the card (CVV/CVC code);
- codes (one-time passwords) of banks;
- Internet banking passwords.
How to avoid such fraud?
If a bank employee calls, say that you are now calling the official bank number indicated on the back of the payment card.
Do not tell anyone the three numbers on the back of the card (CVV/CVC code), codes (one-time passwords) of banks, passwords for Internet banking.
If you have accidentally given your card details, bank code via SMS to a fraudster, immediately block the card or change your internet banking password.
If you have accidentally given your online banking password to a fraudster, block your cards, accounts and online banking access immediately by calling your bank at the number on the back of your card.
