State Bank warns of latest financial fraud tricks

(NLDO) - The State Bank said that financial fraud is increasing, using AI/deepfake technology to steal people's personal information and assets.

The Payment Department of the State Bank has just issued a warning to people to be vigilant against fraud in the banking sector.

Accordingly, recently, high-tech crimes and financial fraud through electronic channels have tended to increase, with many sophisticated tricks such as: impersonating banks to send messages, spreading fake links/QR codes, impersonating police agencies, courts, fraudulently recruiting "easy jobs with high salaries" from abroad, or using AI/deepfake technology to appropriate personal information and assets.

The Payment Department, State Bank, recommends that people do not provide security information (password, OTP, card number, CVV, biometrics) to anyone in any form. Do not access or scan links, QR codes, or applications of unknown origin. Always check and verify information through the bank's official channels (website, application, call center).

People are also advised to proactively protect their accounts, such as: changing passwords periodically, turning on balance fluctuation alerts, and limiting money transfer limits. When detecting suspicious signs: immediately contact the bank's call center or the police. Be wary of super-profitable investment invitations and overseas jobs to avoid falling into "cross-border scams"...

"The State Bank, in coordination with credit institutions, will continue to deploy technical, legal and communication solutions to prevent high-tech crimes. People's vigilance and cooperation are key factors to prevent this problem," the agency's announcement stated.

According to the reporter of Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper , recently, the authorities and commercial banks have continuously updated and warned about the fraud tricks of high-tech criminals. However, there are still many people who have been cheated and lost money in their accounts.
