NEW FRAUD WITH MONEY TRANSFERS FROM THE BNB

The Bulgarian National Bank warns of more frequent cases of e-mails received from citizens, seemingly sent on behalf of the central bank, regarding remittances received at the BNB in ​​their name.

On this occasion, the BNB informed that it does not send such messages to citizens.

These messages are a classic form of "phishing" attack and fraud, using the name of a recognizable institution.

The messages received "on behalf of the BNB" were sent from servers outside Bulgaria and contain a link leading to a site for theft of sensitive customer information (personal data and bank card data).

Upon receiving such a message by e-mail, the BNB urges citizens not to open it and not to follow the links contained in the message.
