Security more important as fraudsters target bank accounts

It is more important than ever to ensure you have a security policy in place as fraudsters target bank accounts. As credit is now harder to acquire due to the economic crisis fraudsters are targeting existing bank accounts. As there are more restrictions on credit due to the credit crunch it is a lot harder for crooks to open new accounts using fake identities.
According to the all-party parliamentary group there has been a fall in the number of traditional forms of identity theft where crooks use stolen or false documents to open up an account. However, the group have said that there has been a sharp rise in cybercrime where crooks use the internet and email to try and access people’s accounts.

Currently there is a bogus email that is going around from HMRC asking for peoples bank account details so that they can process the tax rebate that they were promised. This is a scam and any recipients should ignore this email.
