The alert is aimed at all people who receive letters from the bank 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 consists of sending letters that mimic the bank's official communication, containing a new card and instructions for its activation. These letters are designed to look authentic and deceive recipients.
The main concern is related 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 banking correspondence before following any instructions, contacting the bank directly through official channels to confirm if the letter is legitimate.
