Security
Banks and cards- To transfer money it is enough to know the number of the card, if you ask for something more, know it fraudsters! Bank employees never ask for CVV, SMS or PIN from the card. - Period of validity, CVV2/CVC2 code cannot be given to anyone. - Passwords received by SMS are confidential information, no one but you should know it. - In particular, do not post your card details on the Internet or send them in messengers. - If your wallet or bank cards have been stolen, go through an online application or call the bank and block the cards. - In case of a suspicious call (even from numbers similar to the numbers of the bank's contact center) you should immediately interrupt the conversation and inform about the incident by calling the phone number indicated on the back side of the bank's payment card. - In social networks, fraudsters on behalf of the bank create a page with an offer to pass the survey and get a reward for it. The victim is required to follow the fraudulent link, answer the questions and make the so-called "fixation payment" from his or her card allegedly to get a reward (cash prize). Having filled in the data of his/her payment card, the victim sends money to the card or e-wallet of swindlers without receiving anything in return. |
