Remote Access Fraud

The latest technique fraudsters use to gain access to customers' banking profiles is to call them regarding fraudulent transactions on their bank account or credit card. To add credibility to their call, they will identify themselves as consultants from FNB, supply references of the transactions and even confirm the bank's email and head office address for any queries.


They offer to help block or reverse these transactions by requesting customers to download "protection" software on their PC. This software allows the fraudster to access the customer's PC remotely.



How fraudster gets access to customer's PC remotely




Protect yourself


  • If someone calls you and requests your personal banking details or to install remote access software on your PC, please end the phone call and contact the fraud contact centre

  • FNB will NEVER ask you to share your One-Time PIN (OTP) to reverse pending transactions or to block your banking profile

  • NEVER disclose sensitive information, such as your username, password, card and PIN details to anyone - not even a bank official



Remember:

Report fraud on the Banking App, or phone 087 575 9444.

Report phishing emails to phishing@fnb.co.za

Remote Access Fraud

Remote access software is becoming a very popular way for fraudsters to gain access to your banking profile. These are sophisticated software programs that enable fraudsters to remotely take control of your PC over the internet.


The latest phishing trend fraudsters use, is to send customers fake emails notifying them that fraud has occurred on their bank account or credit card. Soon afterwards, they call the customer claiming to be from the bank and offer to help block any fraudulent transactions by first requesting the customer to install "protection" software on their PC.


This software allows the fraudster to gain control of a customer's PC remotely.



How remote access software is used to defraud a customer




Protect yourself


  • If someone calls you and requests your personal banking details or to install remote access software on your PC, please end the phone call and contact the fraud contact centre

  • FNB will NEVER ask you to share your One-Time PIN (OTP) to reverse pending transactions or to block your banking profile

  • NEVER disclose sensitive information, such as your username, password, card and PIN details to anyone - not even a bank official



Remember:

Vishing scam




Vishing is a scamming tactic where fraudsters make phone calls to customers, pretending to be from a reputable company, like the bank, to get access to their bank profiles.


In the latest vishing scam, these fraudsters call customers claiming fraud has occurred on their bank account or credit card. They then offer to block any fraudulent transactions by first requesting the customer to install protective software on their PC.


This software has the ability to allow a fraudster to gain control of a customer's PC remotely.



Example of telephone conversation




Protect yourself

  • If someone calls you and requests your personal banking details or to install protection software on your PC, please end the phone call and contact the fraud contact centre
  • Be aware, stay alert and NEVER disclose sensitive information (One Time PIN (OTP), username, password, card and PIN details) to anyone - not even a bank official


Remember:

Report fraud on the Banking App, or phone 087 575 9444.

Report phishing emails to phishing@fnb.co.za

Twin SIM Scam

Fraudsters will go great lengths to get hold of your banking details. Their latest tactic attempts to urge you to select an email link in order to cancel a financial instruction they claim you previously sent to the bank.


After selecting the link and providing them with your login credentials, they contact your mobile network provider and activate a service on your mobile contract that allows all incoming phone calls and SMS notifications to be sent to their cellphone number if your number is switched off.



How this scam works




Protect yourself


  • Avoid the above scenario by banking on the FNB App and using Smart inContact to approve your transactions

  • Never click on an embedded link in an email that claims to be from FNB

  • Always type https://www.fnb.co.za into your web browser to access the FNB website

  • If you receive an SMS notification from your mobile network provider about a service you did not request, contact them immediately

  • If you continuously receive suspicious phone calls, do not switch your cellphone off. Report this behaviour immediately to your mobile network provider as well as to FNB

  • Never disclose sensitive information, including your One Time PIN (OTP), username, password, card and PIN details to anyone - not even a bank official


Remember:

Report fraud on the Banking App, or phone 087 575 9444.

Report phishing emails to phishing@fnb.co.za

Sell eWallet Pro cards and make a profit scam

How it works

In an attempt to defraud clients, individuals on Facebook try to lure potential 'promoters' into buying (fake) eWallet Pro cards from them and sell the cards back to clients making a profit.

Clients are requested to make a deposit into an account to receive 30 eWallet Pro cards, which they can then sell for R100 each, making a profit of R50 per card.

Example of a typical social media post promoting fake eWallet Pro cards

To add credibility, visuals of the so-called eWallet Pro cards may also be included:

Don't get caught!

The above is a scam. No such scheme exists.
Report any fraudulent activity on 087 575 9444.

No registration required for FNB Fuel Rewards!!!

A scam is currently doing the rounds under the guise of our highly successful Fuel Rewards campaign where customers may receive up to 15% back when they purchase fuel with certain FNB cards.

Through this scam people are being requested to provide their details in order to receive fuel rewards. The email is nothing more than a phishing scam that has been circulating under different guises for several years. The scammer hopes to obtain the victim's banking and login details in order to defraud him/her.

FNB advises that no action apart from swiping your qualifying card is required to receive FNB Fuel Rewards.

FNB will NEVER ask for your banking details. FNB will also NEVER ask for your PIN or Internet Banking login details. Any request for such information is a scam.

FNB home page phishing scam

Fraudsters often send fake emails or set up fake web sites that mimic the sign-in pages of trusted companies.


When you receive an email requesting you to select a link, you can do the following to verify if the email can be trusted:

- Make sure the 'From' address is from a trusted source. The email address from the actual sender will display in brackets next to the short url (see note 1).

- Hover over the address for the actual link to display (see note 2). In this case the short url and actual link differ. This indicates possible phishing.

Remember, FNB will never ask you to select a link to login to your banking profile, or ask you for your login details (username and password).



What happens if you do select a phishing link

You will be re-directed to a fake site that mimics the FNB website

What you can do to verify if this is a fake site or the actual FNB website

Check the url in the addressbar. It must display: https://www.fnb.co.za/

Scam url (see example below): http://libraryofpulausaigon.org/wp-admin/maint/index.htm



While you are attempting to login from a phishing home page the fraudsters get hold of your login details.

Next, you are presented with a security verification screen. In the meantime, the fraudsters login to your account with the details they have intercepted and do a transaction.



When their transaction needs to be verified with a One Time PIN (OTP) you will be presented with a screen requesting you to enter the OTP you received.

When you enter the OTP on this screen, the fraudsters will be in a position to finalise the transaction from their side.

At an ATM

Do

  • Report suspicious items or people around ATMs to the bank.
  • Familiarise yourself with the look and feel of the ATM so that you are able to identify any foreign objects attached to it.
  • Follow the instructions on the ATM screen carefully.
  • Cancel the transaction immediately if you are disturbed or distracted.
  • Change your PIN if you believe it has been compromised.
  • Memorise your PIN and keep it confidential, never write it down or share it with anyone, not even with your family members or a bank official.
  • Choose a PIN that will not be easily guessed. Do not use your date of birth as a PIN.
  • Cover your PIN when punching it in to prevent shoulder surfing.
  • Secure your card and your cash in your wallet, handbag or pocket before leaving the ATM.
  • Should your card be retained by an ATM, contact your bank and block your card before you leave the ATM.

Don't

  • Do not request or accept help from anyone outside the branch.
  • Never force your card into the slot as it might have been tampered with.
  • Don't use ATMs where the card slot, keypad or screen has been tampered with.
  • Avoid withdrawing large sums of cash.

Close

Guard against card skimming

Do

  • Review your account statements on a regular basis; query disputed transactions with your bank immediately.
  • Read your card details when it is given back to you after every purchase.
  • Shred your card receipts before discarding them.
  • Only the person whose name appears on the front of the card is authorised to use it.
  • Always check transaction slips for correct purchase amounts before you sign them and check them against your statement to spot any suspicious transactions and query them immediately.
  • Store your bank's call centre number on your cellphone so that you have it handy should you need to stop your card.
  • Subscribe to your bank's SMS notification services; this will inform you of any transactional activity on your account.

Don't

  • Don't let the card out of your sight when making payments.
  • If you have debit, cheque and credit cards, don't choose the same PIN for them all, so that if you lose one, the others will still be safe.

Close

When online

Do

  • Always type in the URL: https://www.fnb.co.za
  • Memorise your username and password, never write it down or share it with anyone, not even with a bank official.
  • Choose an unusual username and password that are hard to guess and change them often.
  • Make sure your username and password cannot be seen when you enter them (shoulder surfing).
  • Inform the bank should your cellphone number change so that your cellphone notification contact number is updated on its systems.
  • If reception on your cellphone is lost, check what the problem could be immediately as you could have been the victim of an illegal SIM swop on your number. If confirmed, notify your bank immediately.
  • Only make purchases with your card on reputable websites with addresses that starts with https:// and look for the lock image on the toolbar.
  • Install a spam blocker on your system. This will ensure that fraudsters find it difficult to send you phishing e-mails.

Don't

  • Do not access the bank's website via Google search as it might lead you to a spoofed site.
  • Do not use web links that are saved under your favorites.
  • Don't use internet cafes or unsecure terminals (hotels, conference centers, etc.) to do your banking.
  • Never open suspicious or unfamiliar emails or attachments as these often contain harmful programs.
  • Never allow any website of a merchant to save your personal and banking details.
  • When the option presents itself, always remember to select 'No'.

Close

Guard against shoulder surfing

Do

  • Always be aware of the people around you when entering or accessing your personal information.
  • Shield the keypad while entering your PIN.
  • Use reflectors at ATMs to observe people who are in close proximity to you at an ATM.
  • Where possible when using personal devices find an area where you can sit or stand with your back to the wall.
  • Change passwords and PINs immediately if you suspect that someone has observed you entering that information.

Don't

  • Don't continue conversations with people when you are entering/typing passwords or PINs.
  • Don't verbalise passwords or PINs.
  • Don't expose your card numbers as people can memorise or take photos and videos of them.
  • Avoid long queues and busy areas to reduce the number of people have the opportunity to shoulder surf.

Someone is attempting a SIM swap

Latest vishing (telephonic) scam

Mobile network operator and FNB Cellphone Banking

In the latest scam fraudsters do the following:

  1. They phone the client and pretend to be from the client's mobile network operator
  2. The client is informed that someone attempted to do a SIM swap on their cellphone number
  3. During the call the fraudsters try to gain as much information as possible to do a SIM swap on the client's cellphone number
  4. Next, they inform the client that they will contact the bank on their behalf to advise the bank of what happened

After a while, a fraudster, pretending to be from FNB, will phone the client informing them that the mobile network operator has contacted the bank asking them for assistance as someone attempted to do a SIM swap on one of their clients' cellphone numbers.

During this conversation the fraudsters will attempt to do the following, as they often have personal information of the client that makes the request seem genuine:

  1. They will try to get the client's personal identification number (PIN) and other personal access details of their Cellphone Banking profile
  2. Should they not succeed in getting these details the fraudsters will ask the client for their 5-digit Cellphone Banking PIN (CB PIN) to be used as 'reference number' for the call
  3. Clients often give the fraudsters their CB PIN as they know this number by heart
  4. Next, they ask the client for their card and PIN number
  5. The client will then be requested to turn off their cellphone for the next two hours. This will ensure that the client does not receive the SMS for the SIM swap or any subsequent SMSs of activities performed on their account. In the meantime, the fraudsters are at liberty to transact on the client's account

Sell eWallet Pro cards and make a profit scam

Fraudsters are fishing for potential 'promoters' on social media, such as Facebook, prompting them to buy eWallet Pro cards from them and sell the cards back to clients making a profit.

How it works

In an attempt to defraud clients, individuals on Facebook try to lure potential 'promoters' into buying (fake) eWallet Pro cards from them and sell the cards back to clients making a profit.

Clients are requested to make a deposit into an account to receive 30 eWallet Pro cards, which they can then sell for R100 each, making a profit of R50 per card.

Example of a typical social media post promoting fake eWallet Pro cards

To add credibility, visuals of the so-called eWallet Pro cards may also be included:

Don't get caught!

The above is a scam. No such scheme exists.
