Erste Bank's customers are also at risk

It may seem unnecessary to write the same news every day, but we feel that caution does not hurt in the present situation.

In our news yesterday, we reported that Raiffeisen Bank's customers were trying to persuade them to provide their account details by letter in Hungarian.

Today, another package of mail fell into suspected millions of mailboxes. The text is the same as the previous day, but the target today is Erste Bank's customer base. The letter contains the following text:

"Dear account holder!

On December 2006, 1, the bank had to close some accounts in our system for money laundering, credit card fraud, terrorism, and to check for abuse.

Information about these accounts has been provided to our correspondent banks as well as local, federal and international authorities. Due to extensive database operations, some accounts may have changed. So we ask our customers to check their check and savings accounts to see if they are active or if their current balance is realistic.

The bank notifies all its customers in the event of a major abuse or criminal offense and asks you to check your account balance. If you believe or have found that your account has been misused, please let us know by logging in via the link below. ”

Needless to say, the link in the letter is not Erste Bank, but leads fraudsters to the side of unsuspecting customers. Banks have repeatedly drawn people’s attention in recent days to not giving their bank account details to anyone, as well as the fact that a bank does not ask for such data in a letter from its customers. No one is likely to be compensated for the damage to customers who jump into the trick.
