The Portuguese Banking Association issued an alert about a scam scheme in which criminals spoof APB's phone number to steal customers' banking data. The association clarified that it never contacts customers directly nor requests banking information, and recommended that if you receive a suspicious call, you should hang up immediately and contact your bank exclusively through official channels.
