Beware of spam banking verification
The below are one of the emails I received lately. This ”professional” pretend to act on behalf the bank and asked the account holder take some steps which intentionally ask for the login details.
Beware my friend.
We are hereby notifying you that we’ve recently suffered a DDos-Attack on one of our’s AmOnline Banking server. For security reasons you must complete the next steps to verify the integrity of your Ambank account. If you fail to complete the verification in the next 24 hours your account will be suspended.
Here’s how to get started:
1. Log in to AmBank online account (click here).
2. You must request for TAC via AmOnline banking – your TAC will be sent via SMS to the mobile phone number you registered.
3. Logout from your account and close the browser.
4. When you have received the TAC (Transaction Authorization Code) on your mobile phone, go to our secured verification server and submit the requested information (Username, password and TAC). (click here) to go on our secured server.
5. Please allow 48 hours for processing.
So? Take note of the email address, at least.
