Beware: Bank Transfer Alerts Might Be Scams
Recently, individuals have started receiving text messages about bank transfers that may be scams. Security experts are warning that such messages could be used by criminals to steal personal information and funds. Responding to these messages should be done with caution.
Scammers send messages, purportedly from banks, containing information about suspicious transfers or requests to confirm transactions that never took place. If you receive such a notification, professionals recommend not reacting immediately. Instead, you should call your bank using the official number to verify if such a transaction actually occurred.
It is crucial not to click on links in such messages, as they may lead to phishing sites where criminals attempt to obtain your personal information, including card numbers and passwords. Stay vigilant and practice double-filtering messages.
Additionally, experts suggest setting up transaction alerts in your banking app, as it can help you respond more quickly to real situations.
Don't let scammers deceive you and always verify information before taking any action.
