What is cyber fraud?
Cyber fraud involves stealing personal data, usually banking information, with the aim of causing financial harm.
How are these frauds committed?
These frauds are carried out through various means, such as SMS, emails, or phone calls, impersonating a bank or another company and, for example, asking you to provide your Bnext card details.

How to detect cyber fraud?
Fake sender address
Always check the sender’s email address (in our case, it must come from the “@bnext.es” domain).
Request for card details
Never provide your card details via email, SMS, or phone call, nor through chat on apps such as second-hand marketplaces.
Urgency and persistence
Be suspicious of any communication that is persistent or urgently requests information.
Malicious links
Do not click on links included in emails or SMS messages.
Secure websites
Verify that the website is secure by making sure it has a padlock in the address bar and that the company is properly identified.
Identity verification
If you suspect fraud, contact the sender through another channel to verify their identity.
Types of fraudulent practices
Phishing/Smishing
The attacker, through email or SMS, tries to impersonate a company by using an email address similar to the official one, copying its logo, texts, etc.
Vishing
Fraudulent phone numbers, voice-modification software, and social engineering are used to deceive users.
QRishing
The QR code is maliciously altered, and when you scan it with your phone, it redirects you to a fake website that compromises your security.
Most common cases
Data theft
Through apps or websites that appear legitimate but are cloned to closely resemble the original ones.
Request for card details
Through second-hand sales platforms, via chat with the buyer/seller.
Bnext account opening request
It is a common practice used to offer you a job that does not exist in order to collect your personal data.
