FNB is warning its customers about an increase in banking scams in South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an attempt to steal personal details, fraudsters often send emails with attachments purporting to be a payment notification or bank statement,\u201d said FNB.<\/p>\n

The bank used an example of a SARS scam that is currently doing the rounds ahead of the country\u2019s \u201ctax season\u201d \u2013 which starts on 1 July.<\/p>\n

\u201cFraudsters are notorious for sending emails, often with links or attachments purporting to be a payment notification or bank statement. In this case the email requests you to redeem an epayment from SARS.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Sars<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the recipient clicks the link in the mail, they are presented with a login screen mimicking the SARS homepage.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will be requested to select your banking institution and enter your login details.\u00a0The fraudsters will then be in a position to access your banking profile with the details you have provided.\u201d<\/p>\n
