A fake Oberbank message states that customers must confirm their details with the bank.
As our cooperation partner Watchlist Internet reports, customers should go to a website and provide their eBanking access data. Consumers who comply with the request provide this information to criminals. This allows criminals to access their victims' eBanking accounts and steal their money.
It has the subject “Dear customers! Please pay attention to the following information!”. The letter states that customers should confirm their details so that the company can verify their eBanking account:
Dear Customers!
Please note the following:
In recent weeks, an increasing number of error messages have been detected in eBanking. This mainly affects access that has multiple log-ins. Furthermore, our terms of use are changing as part of the new European Data Protection Regulation (since May 25, 2018). By confirming your data, an evaluation report will be sent to us, which will check the status of your eBanking and identify security deficiencies. Please log in to your eBanking HERE and fill out the online form. We will then contact you to inform you further.
Thank you for your understanding…
Kind regards,
your OBERBANK,
eBanking department
Link leads to fake Oberbank website
Customers who believe the fraudulent email end up on a fake Oberbank website. It imitates the customer portal login and requests the visitor's banking number and pin:

After announcing the banking number and pin, visitors should provide their address and contact details:

Last but not least, the fake Oberbank website states:
“Thank you, your data has been received and processed accordingly, there is no further action required from you. You successfully logged out."
Customers who have provided the requested information are victims of data theft. It allows criminals to access your account and steal money. In addition, the fraudsters have personal information about their victims, which they can use to commit crimes under their name.
How do you recognize the fake Oberbank letter?
You can recognize the fake Oberbank letter from the following points, among others:
- Oberbank never sends emails to customers asking them to provide their eBanking access details on a website. This is the case with the fake message, which is why you can recognize it as fraudulent.
- If you move your computer mouse over the link in the message, a message window will show you that you are visiting a third-party website. This shows you that the email cannot come from Oberbank.
- The fake letter contains errors that are untypical of a legitimate corporate scam. For example: “Best regards”.
Have you announced your details?
If you have fallen for the fake Oberbank message, contact the bank immediately. Explain to the person you are talking to that you have become a victim of data theft and discuss with them what further action is necessary to prevent damage. File a criminal complaint with the police!
The Internet Watchlist recommends:
Move Oberbank messages that ask you to confirm personal information to your spam folder because they come from data thieves! If you have any doubts about the authenticity of a message, contact the bank by telephone and find out how to proceed!
