E-mails entitled ‘Dear Banif Bank Customer You Have A New Message’, received by several people in Malta and Gozo, are a scam, the bank said.
The message requests recipients to click on a link provided in the e-mail to view a new security message available on their Banif internet banking system. Banif said it did not use electronic mail with links or any software for immediate installation.
“The bank’s official internet banking site should only be accessed though the bank’s official website, which is protected using international security standards,” a bank representative said.
Clients who may have provided their personal details in this scam should contact any Banif Bank branch, tel. 2260 1000.
