As a rule, fraudsters use SMS to quickly gather information and persuade the client to perform a particular operation with a card in favor of third parties under various pretexts. Such messages often look like real official messages that may be sent by a bank or an authorized processing company. The following features will help you distinguish messages sent by fraudsters:
-
They contain a form for entering your personal data;
-
They contain information that an unexpected amount has been credited to your account;
-
They require your urgent response. For example, that your account will be closed or temporarily blocked by the bank;
-
They require that you provide, update or confirm your personal data (codeword, PIN-code, etc.);
-
They are sent not from the official number of the authorized processing company - KartStandart Processing Center.
