The Bank of Albania has warned of fraudulent messages using its name to steal personal and banking information. The messages falsely claim that recipients’ bank accounts have been suspended and ask them to click a link to update their details.
Recipients should not click the links, reply or disclose personal or banking information, including card details and security credentials. Anyone who has provided information or notices unauthorized account activity should contact their bank immediately through its official channels. Such messages should also be reported to the competent authorities.
