Fraudulent Email Addresses 3 (AccessBank)


I came across another fraudulent email in my spam folder. Fraudsters try to mimic various banks. This case was targeted at Access Bank Plc customers. It is a false debit alert and as we can see from the circled sender email, it is not from the bank. The sender shows lmakubalo@gmail.com which is not the related to Access Bank Plc. On clicking links in such emails, users are usually redirected to fraudulent websites that are built to mimic the bank's website. Unsuspecting users end up entering their online login details on the fake websites and thus their accounts become vulnerable to the fraudsters.
Remember, your first level security is to check the sender of any email. Then avoid clicking email links to get to your online banking account. It is better to visit the website of the bank by typing the address yourself on your browser.
