Warning from the State Bank on the Latest Scams and How to Protect Yourself
The Payment Department of the State Bank has issued a warning to the public about the rise in high-tech crimes and financial scams through electronic channels. These scams often involve sophisticated tactics such as spoofed messages and links/QR codes, impersonation of authorities, and AI/deepfake technology to steal personal and financial information.
The Payment Department advises individuals never to disclose security information such as passwords, OTPs, card details, or biometric data to anyone under any circumstances. Be cautious of unknown links, QR codes, and applications, and always verify through official bank channels (website, app, hotline).
State Bank warns of the latest scam tactics
It is recommended to take proactive measures to secure your accounts, such as periodically changing passwords, enabling balance change alerts, and setting transfer limits. If you suspect any fraudulent activity, immediately contact your bank and the police. Be wary of investment schemes promising abnormally high returns or jobs offering “easy money” from abroad, as these could be cross-border scams.
The State Bank, in collaboration with credit institutions, will continue to implement technical, legal, and communication solutions to combat high-tech crimes. The success of these efforts relies heavily on the vigilance and cooperation of the public.
Despite regular updates and warnings from authorities and commercial banks, many individuals still fall prey to these scams, resulting in unintended financial losses.
