Social Engineering

Do not get tricked into sharing sensitive and personal information over social media.

Stop

  • Responding to strangers online asking you to share OTP
  • Clicking on pop-up banners claiming your computer is infected
  • Entertaining friendly callers from getting your personal information by gaining your trust
  • Acting upon mails of messages that create urgency to take action

Think

  • Could this be genuine?
  • Is it safe to share personal information with a stranger?
  • Will your bank call to ask for your personal information?

Protect

  • Do not share your OTP or personal information
  • Limit the information you share on any digital channel
  • Create strong and complex passwords and change them frequently
  • Do not download or install suspicious apps
  • If you suspect that your personal details have been compromised,report it immediately to your bank

Please report fraud to your bank, in addition, please report on www.uaebf.ae/en/fight-fraud

Disclaimer: Please make sure that you report fraudulent activity to both your bank and UBF
