Official LAST MINUTE WARNING ING Romania Targeting Millions of Customers

ING Romania issues an urgent call to all its customers from all over Romania, and this is because the bank is talking about one of the extremely serious problems it faces due to the increase in the number of online fraudsters who promise "irrefutable profits", including in the cryptocurrency market. These frauds are present at every step on the Internet and can appear through various channels such as social networks, SMS, phone calls or e-mails.

ING Romania states that scammers often use the names of real brands or public figures to gain the trust of victims. They present themselves as "experts" in investments or "representatives of a company" with legal authorizations from institutions such as ASF, promising fabulous earnings.

ING Romania conveys that their goal is to induce the victims to make card payments or transfers for investments, initially requesting small amounts to test trust. ING Romania recommends users to benefit from the new security settings available in Home'Bank. Through this platform, customers can set limits and permissions for their cards, offering an additional method of protection against fraud.

To activate these measures, users must access Home'Bank, select the card and navigate to the “Card Limits and Permissions – Permissions” section. The changes apply only to the selected card, thus ensuring efficient security management for each card.

ING Romania recommends users to be vigilant and follow some simple rules to protect themselves. It is important to close without hesitation suspicious calls that offer "credit offers that cannot be refused" or "investments with guaranteed profits". Also, do not transmit personal data or copies of identity documents through social networks or e-mail.

Avoid filling in card data or internet banking credentials on pages received from unknown investment brokers. If the interlocutor claims to represent an authorized company, check its authorization with the competent body, such as ASF for Romanian companies on the capital market.

It is important to be aware that promoting investment services through call centers is prohibited in Romania and constitutes a crime. For more information on investment fraud and how to protect yourself, ING Romania directs clients to the ASF website, Consumers section.

In the context of the increase in phishing attacks and online fraud, ING Romania emphasizes the importance of using the security tools offered by Home'Bank and adopting safe practices in the management of personal and financial information. Be cautious, inform yourself and protect your finances with the help of ING Romania.
