“customer fault”, panic about the new scam, what to do now

In this period, many scams are being reported, but the one against Intesa Sanpaolo customers is of particular gravity and the utmost attention must be paid.

Cybercriminals have become particularly good at defrauding bank customers, and online scams are now multiplying.

When we surf the internet we are exposed to the risk of scams and experts never fail to remember at this point. Let’s see what is happening to Intesa Sanpaolo customers, also because the risk is to empty the account and these cybercriminals are particularly adept at doing this. This is the so-called phenomenon of phishing: a very serious trap against which we must pay the utmost attention.

A strong risk here is what happens

Intesa Sanpaolo is a very large and important bank that guarantees its customers high security but unfortunately Cybercriminals are able to leverage the trust that account holders have in their bank. In fact, the email that is reaching Intesa Sanpaolo customers is very well done and seems to come from the well-known Italian banking institution. This is an email with a very professional but also peremptory tone. In this communication it is important to reiterate it is absolutely false and scam customers are told that their account is at risk and that you have to do some checks to make it safe. The email is written in such a way that it really looks like it came from the bank and for account holders it can be very easy to fall for it.

How they manage to cheat customers

To secure the current account of the victim it is therefore important to follow a guided procedure which can be accessed by clicking on the link contained towards the end of the message. The account holder is told that the fault is also partly his because he ignored the new security procedures provided by the European Union and many other pretexts. In short, criminals are very skilled in making the unfortunate feel a little guilty, so that he rushes to click on the link to activate this security procedure.
