Police advisory: Fake bank e-mail circulating
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 2: The Bermuda Police Service Financial Crime Unit continues to advise the public to remain vigilant regarding phishing e-mails that attempt to obtain personal information or other sensitive data. One of the latest examples currently circulating is a fake e-mail claiming to be from HSBC titled ‘Dear Customer - Account is disable. (Important)’ stating:
“Dear Members
New Email Alert to Customers.
Your Account was disabled for verification and security update. Please note that this account will be closed if not verified now.
Thank you for the commitment and standing by us. Happy New Year.”
Recipients should ignore these unsolicited messages or similar ‘official looking e-mails’ claiming to be from any of the local banks.
