WesBank, a sister company to FNB, has warned its clients of an increase in fraudulent emails being sent around with the banks logo at the top, with criminals targeting people who had and have vehicle finance with the company.
Lebogang Gaoaketse, head of marketing and communication at the finance company, said the letterhead in these fraudulent emails looks official, the language sounds professional and the request seems urgent but reasonable - but it is not from WesBank.
If you receive suspicious communication claiming to be from WesBank, do not click on links, download attachments or provide any information, he said.
