Be careful if you are a client of these banks: this is the new SMS with which they seek to rob you

Banking cyber-scams do not stop. Recently, the Internet User Security Office (OSI), under the National Cybersecurity Institute, has alerted about a new cyber-scam campaign in which criminals pose as entities such as Bankinter or Targobank with the aim of deceiving Internet users and stealing your access codes to online banking. As in so many other cases, the scam starts with an SMS in which the criminals alert the user about an alleged strange charge on their checking account. The amounts reported are also quite high in some cases. There are even some messages in which there is talk of about 2,000 euros. «A charge of 1,895 euros has been made in your account. If it was not you, follow the steps in the following link to cancel it”, can be read in one of the SMS shared by OSI. There are also cases where an alleged closure of the account is reported due to this strange movement. Something common in this type of campaigns.

This redirects you to a page that tries to copy the original of the impersonated entity. There you are asked to share the necessary data to access the online banking account. If the netizen falls into the trap, he will be sharing this information with the criminals. “It is not ruled out that this fraud is also being spread by other means, such as by email and impersonating other banking entities,” they warn from OSI. Do not believe anything To avoid falling for these scams, it is essential that the Internet user is suspicious of all those emails or SMS in which, apparently, a bank tries to alert him. The best thing he can do in these cases is to try to get in touch with the bank in question through another channel to clear up any doubts. Obviously, in cases like this, you can also make a quick visit to your online banking account to see if the movement that has been reported has actually been collected.
