WHAT IS A PHISHING SCAM?

Phishing scams deceive you into clicking on links or emails that look legitimate but are actually traps designed to steal your personal or banking information. These fake messages often impersonate banks, delivery services, or government agencies.

HOW THEY WORK:

• You will receive unsolicited SMS/messages/emails that resemble legitimate organisations – like your bank, the police, a utility provider or a company.

• It contains clickable hyperlinks that lead you to key in your online banking credentials or personal information.

• Once you enter your information, scammers will have the opportunity to steal your money.

  HOW TO DEFEND?

  • Be extra careful with clickable hyperlinks from unsolicited SMS/messages/emails.

  • Pay close attention to the web link before proceeding with your banking activities.

  • Always log into your banking account via your bank's official website and your security image and phrase are correct before keying in your password.
