UniCredit Warns Customers of Critical Danger from New Bank Frauds

In recent weeks, there has been an increase in fraudulent campaigns targeting bank customers. Cybercriminals are using ever more sophisticated methods to obtain users' personal data and money.

UniCredit Bulbank alerts about the spread of fake messages that imitate official communication from the bank. Usually, these messages contain motives such as “temporarily restricted card,” “unusual activity,” or “update of customer data.”

The main signs of the scam include:

• An urgent request for action from the user;
• Presence of buttons or links for “unblocking” or “restoring access”;
• Links to fake pages that visually resemble the bank’s official website.

It is important for customers to know that the bank never requests the provision of bank card data, PIN codes, usernames, banking passwords, or codes from M-token via links in SMS or email.

Safety tips:

• Always check the address in the browser – it should start with https:// and contain the bank’s official domain.
• Watch for the absence of security icons (padlocks) or spelling mistakes on the page.
• If you receive a suspicious message – do not open the links, do not enter data, and delete it.

If you have already followed a suspicious link or entered personal information, immediately contact the bank at 0700 184 84 or by email: [email protected].
