The alert is aimed at all people who receive bank letters with new cards and activation instructions. Scammers are taking advantage of the time when bank cards are about to expire to send fake correspondence to victims.
The scam method involves sending letters that mimic the bank's official communication, containing a new card and instructions for its activation. These letters are designed to appear authentic and deceive recipients.
The main concern relates to the QR code present in the letter. Scammers use these codes to direct victims to fraudulent websites or to collect sensitive personal and banking information.
The recommendation is that recipients always verify the authenticity of bank correspondence before following any instructions, contacting the bank directly through official channels to confirm if the letter is legitimate.
