Some fraudsters are trying to exploit the coronavirus outbreak as an opportunity for financial crime. They may pretend to offer medical products, guidance or a safe haven for your money.
However, you can safeguard yourself against such scams by staying vigilant and taking a few precautions:
- don't open links or attachments in suspicious emails until you've verified the sender
- don't answer any unsolicited calls or messages
- don't provide your personal details, including financial information and banking credentials, to anyone
We have created a fraud guide with practical ways that can help you protect yourself from fraud.
Remember, HSBC will never ask you to move money to a safe account.
