Online Fraud


I want to talk you about a kind of fraud, which is very common in my country. Maybe, this post can help you in the future have not an experience like this.

This fraud is a sort of bank fraud. It occurs on Internet in the following way. Someone impersonating a bank employee sent you an email. This email looks very similar to mails you are used to receive from your bank. There is a link on this email that it is supposed that should re-direct you to your bank's webpage. Indeed, it re-directs you to a website, but to another website specially built to look identical to your bank's website.  If you don’t realize that it is a fake page, believe me, you will be in a serious problem. Due to when you try to login in the website the con man can get all your information like user, password among others. If he has all this information he can transfer money from your account to another.

Here you can see an example.  In this case, it is  very easy to figure out that is a fake page, but in other cases it is very difficult.




I Sum,  I recommend you to every time you want to visit your bank's website type the name of the website, instead of clicking a link.
