Dear customers.

We would like to warn you about a new fraudulent scheme is currently being actively used by individuals from organized crime groups to manipulate clients of various banks. Fraudsters contact their victims, pretending of being officers from various police structures (GDBOP, GDNP, SDVR, etc.), informing them that their personal savings have become objects of theft by unscrupulous individuals or that someone is trying to withdraw a loan in their name, after which the imaginary police officer transfers the communication to a “BNB employee”. As an opportunity to save the victims’ money, a “safe option” is offered, requiring the withdrawal of their assets and their deposit in a “protected” account in another bank that is “certified by the BNB”. It is possible that the victims will be convinced, again under the pretext of protecting themselves, to withdraw a consumer loan, the amount of which they will hand over to a “representative of the authorities” by hand.

Please note that government officials and the Bulgarian National Bank would not ask you to withdraw your savings or credit under any pretext.

Be careful and in case you receive such call, disconnect the connection and notify the nearest Ministry of Internal Affairs department!

Additional recommendations and tips for fraud prevention can also be found on the website of the Bank.

Sincerely,

The Team of UniCredit Bulbank
