The bank issued a statement. Those attacked get caught like flies on glue
Everyone would like to multiply their profits
It is worth reading its content, because anyone who has a bank account can become a victim of fraudsters. Recently, however, on the Internet and on social networking sites, we can notice the increased activity of “advisors” who offer us seemingly beneficial and attractive investments. Bank Pocztowy explains what offers we should stay away from.
Experts from Bank Pocztowy noticed a certain pre-determined pattern of fraudsters’ actions. Here’s when the warning light should come on:
The proposals most often concern investing funds in cryptocurrencies, Baltic Pipe, State Treasury bonds, Orlen shares and the Forex exchange.
It is known that increasing money and trying to invest is not a bad thing, but before we invest, let’s verify our broker in the register of entities kept by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority or check whether he is not on the list of public warnings.
These types of activities can protect our money against fraud. If the offer seems a bit too attractive, and if the profits are disproportionately high compared to other offers on the market, then we should be more careful. Let’s not get carried away by emotions, let’s use common sense.
How not to be deceived?
- Do not share your personal data, such as PESEL number, ID number and login details, with anyone.
- Do not provide card details (number, CVC2, expiration date) or BLIK code.
- Do not install any applications sent in messages on your device or transfer any funds.
- If you suspect that a fraudster is contacting you, contact the bank in person or report the matter to the police.
