The Cybercrime Unit warned citizens against dealing with fraudulent fake electronic links that come to their phones or reach them through social media applications, claiming that they are issued by the Central Bank.

The unit explained that the sender of that fake link asks the recipient to enter and complete filling in his data because there is a shortage in it, and that if he does not enter the data, his credit cards and financial portfolios will be suspended, and this data includes personal information such as account number, passwords, confidential information, and the confirmation code that he receives as a text message, which enables them to hack into the victim's accounts, and obtain his money, if any, by making money transfers, electronic purchases, and other financial transactions.

The Cybercrime Unit calls on  citizens and residents not to deal at all with these links or interact with them and to block the numbers that were sent through them, as the Central Bank does not communicate with anyone and request their personal or banking information through social networking sites, and not to send any personal documents.

In the event that these links are dealt with and provide them with personal or banking data, please contact your bank as soon as possible, suspend the account temporarily to protect it from theft and hacking, report to the Cybercrime Unit and submit an official report of the incident.
