Bank phishing scams use fake SMS, emails, or websites to trick victims into revealing their online banking credentials. Criminals then access accounts, steal funds, and may impersonate bank staff by phone to reinforce the fraud. Typical signs include unsolicited messages with suspicious links, urgent requests, or calls demanding confirmation of transactions. Protection measures: never click unknown links, verify suspicious calls directly with your bank, and never share login details or authorisation codes. Victims should immediately contact their bank and report the incident to police. This awareness campaign, part of European Cyber Security Month, strengthens consumer vigilance.
