The police warn about a trending criminal phenomenon in which criminals are phishing for online banking details on fake websites imitating genuine banking websites. For the customer, it is safest to use the bank’s own mobile apps or bookmarked pages. If you think that criminals have gotten your online banking details, it is of utmost importance that you contact your bank immediately.
