The Home Office has warned of a fraud scheme to block SBP Scammers call a potential victim, posing as bank employees and stating that suspicious activity has been detected in transfers through the SBP. The caller says an urgent check is needed - otherwise the transfers or accounts will be blocked. While creating an atmosphere of danger and urgency, the victim is convinced to provide a code from an SMS under the pretext of "authentication" in order to approve a transaction or install an application that is actually malicious. Using it, fraudsters gain remote access to the device and steal money. The Ministry of the Interior mentioned: Bank employees never ask you to call SMS codes and do not require you to install third-party software on the phone.
