TIRANA, Nov 13 /ATA/ – The Bank of Albania on Friday warned the public about fraudulent messages, known as phishing, circulating under the central bank’s name.
The messages falsely claim that recipients’ bank accounts have been suspended and urge them to click on a link to update their personal information, the central bank said.
The Bank of Albania stressed that the messages are fraudulent and are designed to obtain personal and banking information by impersonating the institution.
It advised the public not to click on any links contained in such messages.
“Do not reply to these messages or disclose personal information, bank card details, passwords, PINs or one-time passcodes. If you have shared any information or notice unauthorised activity on your account, contact your bank immediately through its official channels. Report any such messages to the relevant authorities,” the Bank of Albania said.
