Fake emails

Do you open every email you receive in your inbox, without investigating? Do you check if this is from a verified source or a random email address? The name on any email address can be made to look alike. For example:

Email Account Name	Email Account Address
ABC Limited	[email protected]
ABC Limited	[email protected]

Fraudsters create fake profiles/email accounts using stolen information to impersonate as individuals or businesses for fraudulent purposes. These are some common types of tactics used by scammers:

Fake Accounts

Use fake or stolen credentials to register accounts, for financial gain.

Fake Identity

Create fake companies and their websites, that closely resemble legitimate businesses, to trick you into providing financial information and transfer funds.

Send emails or messages that appear to be from legitimate sources, urging recipients to click on links or provide personal information.

If you receive an email, a call or SMS, requesting you to transfer money to an alternative account with a new IBAN number, protect yourself as follows:

Look for inconsistencies in the profile information, change in email address, typos, grammatical errors, blurry logos, etc.

Verify the authenticity of accounts and websites before providing any information.

Check with the approved company through their verified channels, if there has been a change.

Be cautious of requests for payment in unusual ways or any urgency in making payments.

If the email address doesn't match the company’s verified email or is from a free provider (such as Hotmail, Gmail or Outlook).

Be careful if you’re being asked to take an action, such as click on a link, supply a code or download software.
