The National Commercial Bank of Anguilla (NCBA) has issued a warning about scammers posing as bank employees in an attempt to gain remote access to customers’ devices.
According to the bank, unauthorised people have been contacting account holders online and by phone, claiming to be bank representatives.
Their aim is to access personal devices such as laptops and mobile phones for fraudulent purposes, the bank said in a press release on 20 February.
The bank stressed that it will never request remote access to a customer’s device or ask for sensitive banking details, including card PINs.
Customers are urged not to comply with such requests and to remain vigilant against potential scams.
Anyone who receives a suspicious call or message should report it immediately to the Royal Anguilla Police Force and notify the bank at service@ncbal.com
Anyone with information on any criminal activity in Anguilla can call police on (264) 497-2333 or 497-5333, or leave an anonymous message, video or photo at www.gov.ai/911
Information from the website is stored in a secure location in California and access to it is tightly controlled.
