Dear Clients, 
We would like to warn you about a widespread fraudulent scheme related to fake investments and abuse of online or mobile banking.


How does this fraud work?
Scammers use the following scenario:

  1. They contact you by phone, social media, or online advertising and offer a “lucrative investment”
  2. They invite you to enter data from a bank card or make a small initial "investment" with a bank transfer.
  3. After a few days, they inform that the investment has been "successful" and in some cases transfer a small profit (e.g. EUR 10.00 – 20.00) to gain your confidence.
  4. Subsequently, a representative "broker" or "technical team employee" instructs you to follow a link and download an application under the pretext of facilitating "stock trading"
  5. In actual fact, an app is being installed to remotely access the computer or phone
  6. This gives the scammers control of the device and the ability to perform operations to steal money.

In the event of a suspected fraud, contact the bank only through the official contacts on 070018484 or by email: DbmmDfoufsAVojDsfejuHspvq/Ch.
Never install an app under the instructions of an unknown person or enter details of the payment instruments you use.
Additional recommendations and tips for fraud prevention can also be found on the bank's website.


Sincerely,
The Team of UniCredit Bulbank
