These authentic-looking messages are designed to fool recipients into divulging personal data such as account numbers and passwords or credit card numbers.

These types of emails are sent to random recipients with the aim of extracting electronic banking logon details from unsuspecting victims, resulting in financial damage to the client If you would like to report a Phishing Scam please report it to:secmon@absa.co.za .If you get an email or pop-up message that asks for your personal or financial information, do not click on the link in the message rather report it to the above email addresses.
