Advisory: Fake Bank E-mail Circulating
The Bermuda Police Service Financial Crime Unit continues to advise the public to remain vigilant regarding phishing e-mails that attempt to obtain personal information or other sensitive data.
In a recent example, an imitation bank e-mail claiming to be from Capital G titled ‘Important Information for our Customers’ states in part:
“You are receiving this notice as a reminder that the security question we have on file for you within Online Banking was not up-to-date.
This email was sent automatically to your email address as an additional layer of security regarding your Online Banking activity as part of Capital G Bank Security Assurance.”
Recipients should ignore these unsolicited messages or similar ‘official looking e-mails’ claiming to be from any of the local banks.
Handing In Lost Property
The Bermuda Police Service is aware that in some cases, lost personal property has been turned in to radio stations in an attempt to reunite the item(s) with the rightful owner. However, any personal property found by someone other than the lawful owner should be turned into the nearest police station, so that it can be appropriately logged and suitable attempts can be made to find the rightful owner.
