We are witnessing increased incidents where individuals, often posing as reputable institutions, have attempted to deceive unsuspecting victims.
W
ith this, we have also recorded a few recent cases where these criminals pretend to be Ebury staff. It starts with persuading you to give them access to your device and then asking you to confirm the request through a fake website or phone number. Once they have access, they make payments and trick you into authorising them. By following the below-listed practices, we want to ensure you remain vigilant in protecting your Ebury account and information.
- Don’t share passwords or security codes with anyone – including an Ebury employee.
- Don’t allow anyone to access your computer or devices remotely.
- If you’re contacted out of the blue to say your account is at risk, hang up.
- Validate any requests with us by calling us on the phone number you see on the Ebury website: ebury.com
