🔎Can you spot the scam?🎣 📨

Scammers often use fake e‑Transfer messages to trick people into sending money or sharing personal details. Take a moment to slow down and double‑check before you click or respond—particularly if the message comes from an unexpected source.

Be on the lookout for these red flags:

🚩 Generic or blank greetings – Emails that say “Dear Customer” or “Dear User” may be phishing attempts.
🚩 Spelling and grammar mistakes – Legitimate financial institutions usually proofread their communications carefully—scammers often don’t.
🚩 Real e‑Transfers don’t require you to provide personal information by email or text to receive money.
🚩Suspicious links – Fake e‑Transfer notifications may include links that look real. Clicking it leads to a spoofed website that steals your banking info. Hover over the link to check the actual web address before clicking.
🚩Requests for personal information – Never share passwords, verification codes, or account details via email or text.
🚩Suspicious sender email addresses – Scammers often use addresses or numbers that closely resemble legitimate ones—with small typos or extra characters.

Remember: If something is too good to be true, it probably is.
