Police warn against cunning bank card scam | Inland

“There are very nice, real-looking letters from banks in circulation,” the police wrote on Facebook. The letter contains a new bank card with PIN code. The cards also look lifelike: “Everything is correct, except for the account number.”

Pincode

“The request is made to send the old bank card, including PIN code,” the police continued. Here’s a catch: “Banks never ask for a PIN.”

How can you tell a fake letter from a real one? According to the police, the fake letters have “a different layout, no clear ink and a different phone number.” “The new fake bank card can be recognized by, among other things, the punched instead of printed letters,” said the police.
