The bank scammers have tried to extort about 12 million euros from people. These are the preliminary data of the Slovak Bank Association for the first half of last year. Scammers contacting people in the name of banks are increasing. Financial houses warn against the most common ways of scamming. One of them is phishing. "A person will receive an SMS or e-mail where fraudsters are trying to lure them with your internet banking login information or card number," explained Ján Adamovský, director of security at Slovenská Sporiteľna bank. The bank representatives recommend clients who find out that they have become victims of fraud to contact their bank immediately. This will increase the chance that they get their lost money back.
