CEC Bank, the main financial institution in Romania with a very large number of clients throughout the country, has decided to issue an official warning notice for clients throughout the country, and this is because we are talking about information on the ways in which we can protect ourselves against bank fraud.
CEC Bank explains below what we should know about these types of problems, and this is because not many people know how to identify a fraud, or how to protect themselves against it, so it is very important to look with pay attention to the information that is put in front of us now.
How to spot a fraud attempt
For the protection of customers in the online environment, CEC Bank uses tools that help identify fraud attempts as quickly as possible and acts to quickly eliminate fake web pages that are created with the aim of misleading the Bank's customers.
