BDO Unibank advises its clients and the banking public in general not to fall for scammers offering to help them open new accounts to receive spurious offers or prizes from some contest.
“As online scammers remain on the prowl for potential victims, to follow this simple caution: if you didn’t join any contest, you didn’t win anything. Don’t fall for offers that are too good to be true because they most probably are not true,” the bank said.Scammers are calling accountholders informing them about a prize they allegedly won and encouraging them to open an Online Banking account to redeem it.
However, the Bank bared that this supposed offer to “help” or “assist” accountholders in opening an online banking account is just a scheme of scammers to get direct access to their would-be victims’ bank account. “They will trick you into allowing a third-party account to be enrolled to your Online Banking account through ATM activation,” the Bank said.
“Don’t instantly fall for promising rewards or other enticements that will lead you to share your account details to others,” the Bank stressed.
