Job Scam

What is Phishing?

It is a fraudulent attempting to trick you to reveal your credentials to the scammer. This can be via links sent via SMS or emails, or fake websites that look just like the real ones.

If you key in your personal information or banking details in these phishing sites, you risk your banking information being stolen by the scammers.



What to look out for?

Phishing sites are designed to look like the real ones, with almost an identical online address.
These links will likely redirect you to a phishing site.


How to protect yourself?

Do not click on any hyperlink sent via SMS by a “bank”. Banks will no longer do so.
This minimises the risks of you keying in your personal banking details on a phishing site.
Given that the web link will likely be quite identical, do look out for subtle differences. For example, 0 in place of an ‘o’; @ in place of ‘a’; ‘bnmm’ instead of ‘bnm’.
