Special attention is again recommended to the public by the Police, since online fraud related to Banking and Credit Institutions continues.
Specifically, citizens become the recipients of misleading information and messages, through which they are asked to confirm the access details and various account information they maintain in Banks or Credit Institutions.
The confirmation of the data is done through an electronic link (link) that connects the citizens in fake websites that look like the websites of the Banking / Credit Institutions.
The result is that the perpetrators of the fraud gain access to the bank accounts of citizens via the Internet and extract large sums of money from the accounts, transferring the money by remittances to banks abroad.
The public is advised to be very careful and not to reveal to anyone their personal details and passwords of their bank accounts, since no Bank / Credit institution will ever ask for the passwords of its customers.
Citizens are also asked to make sure that any messages they receive by phone or e-mail are genuine and have actually been sent by a Bank or Credit Institution where they maintain an account, before accessing any of the institutions' websites via e-mail. link referred to in the relevant messages.
They should also make sure that any website they link to is the original website of the Bank / Credit Institution with which they work.
