ING Bank Śląski takes the floor. The new message applies to everyone

The Internet is bursting at the seams with attractive advertising banners investments in cryptocurrencies, gold, silver and other assets. What’s worse, more and more websites of this type use the names of real and legal investment companies. Completely illegal, of course. After seeing such an advertisement, we agree to it telephone contact to read the details of this type of offer. A fake advisor asks you to transfer a small amount over the phonethe loss of which will not hurt anyone. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning of a larger fraud and serious financial losses.

The alleged investment advisor will usually ask you to: small transfer – the amount is less than PLN 1,000. Later, he shows it to the investor fake page with fictitious profits, e.g. $15,000, and persuades the suspect to install it software. It’s a fraud scheme that unfortunately still works. Many people still fall for it.

Do not follow the instructions of the telephone advisor. Be especially careful with the three most frequently used tricks:

1. To collect your earned money, download softwarewhich we will indicate.
2. Firstly, you have to pay taxesk to the office or demonstrate turnover to collect the funds.
3. We will pay out the profit, but first we ask for a transfer in order to account verification.

The bank reminds you not to transfer any money in such situations. Do not install programs such as Splashtop, TeamViewer (QuickSupport), Zoom or AnyDesk. It is also worth reading about a given investment on the website of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority, the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, the Brokerage House or the bank’s website.
