BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, June 11 (Xinhua) -- The largest bank in Brunei, Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD), has urged its customers and the public to remain vigilant in the wake of a new scam tactic involving suspicious calls targeting BIBD customers, the bank said on Wednesday.
The bank said in these calls, fraudsters pose as BIBD representatives, urging customers to provide personal or banking information.
These callers claim that there are suspicious transactions using the customers' accounts or credit cards, the BIBD said in a press release.
These tactics are a common way to trick people into giving away sensitive information.
The bank said the advisory is part of an ongoing commitment to safeguard customers against financial fraud and uphold the highest standards of trust and security in the Brunei financial sector. ■
