​How To Avoid Them​

​ ​

​Do not click the link!​​ Whether it's from suspicious texts, emails, or chat messages. Unless you want to be redirected to a fake bank website that looks the same as the real one. These fake bank websites are carefully mapped out by scammers. They will use strong-arm tactics to lure possible victims and steal login credentials and other personal info. Do not give them that chance!​
