We have observed a recent increase in scams impersonating UnionPay. Scammers are using websites with suspicious URLs (e.g., 26479463.cc, 21529969.cc, 25358156.cc) to deceive victims.
Here's how to recognise these scams:
- Unexpected Communications: Be wary of unsolicited messages or emails claiming to be from UnionPay, especially if they request personal or financial information.
- Suspicious Links: Avoid clicking on links provided in these unsolicited messages. Always access UnionPay's website directly by typing the address into your browser.
If you have been affected by this scam:
- Report the incident to your bank immediately.
- File a police report with all relevant information, including the scam website address and any communication you had with the scammers.
