Unofficial Website or Contact Details
Spoofing is one of the techniques scammers do to steal your identity and get your money. They will contact you either via email or text message using your bank’s official name and number.

If you think you have encountered a spoofing scam, DO NOT CLICK any link stated on the message and contact your bank through their official contact number or email immediately.

Demand for Urgent Action
If the message or call wants you to take action right away, then most of the time, it is from a scammer. Most of the time they would want you to settle an account immediately or even ask your account details to update your account.
If it involves transferring money quickly, don’t act on it right away. Verify the concern first with your bank by contacting their official hotline or their official online channels. Be suspicious and be vigilant especially if the other person wants you to transfer funds in an unusual way. Also, KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT SECURE by setting strong passwords, and do not share your account details (username, passwords, and PINs) with anyone.
