In most incidents, fraudsters persuade customers to ask for their bank details. Bizum, as an account-to-account payment method, offers the maximum guarantee of security in accordance with the standards regulated by the European Union and the legislation of our country. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/bizum.com\/blog\/normativa-psd2-seguridad-pago-ecommerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bizum was born in compliance with both European and Spanish security regulations<\/a>. PSD2 requires the use of Strong Customer Authentication or SCA. This implies the use of <strong>two-factor authentication<\/strong> in banking operations that previously did not require it. This <strong>user validation<\/strong> is performed by each bank, according to its own security policies and procedures.   <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bizum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Depositphotos_6264851_s-2019.jpg\" alt=\"At Bizum, our users&apos; security and peace of mind come first.  \" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8530 size-full\"><\/p>\n\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n<section\r\n    class=\"m22-content-simple m22-content-simple--border-straight\"\r\n    id=\"m22-section-1\"\r\n    aria-label=\"Contenido simple\"\r\n>\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"m22-content-simple__card\">\r\n\r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__content\">\r\n\r\n                \r\n                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__body\">\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__sidebar\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-block\">\r\n                                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-row\">\r\n\r\n                                    \r\n                                                                            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title\">\r\n                                            <p>When to be suspicious in a management with Bizum?<\/p>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    \r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__main\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__text\">\r\n                                <p><strong>Bizum scams<\/strong> have to do with personal information that users themselves unknowingly provide to criminals. In Bizum we leave you with situations that may make you doubt: \u2013 If they are going to make you a Bizum, that is, you are going to be the one who receives the money you do not need to enter your <strong>banking credentials<\/strong>. If at that moment you do not have Bizum active, you will receive a message to do so within your bank\u2019s app, which is a secure environment. \u2013<strong> Sending requests.<\/strong> You can reject a request to send money from your Bizum within your bank\u2019s app. If you receive one, confirm that it is correct. If you are suspicious and believe you are a victim of a scam, you can reject the money transfer request within your bank\u2019s app. \u2013 <strong>I do not recognize a payment made by Bizum, what can I do?<\/strong> Check the details of the payment in your bank\u2019s app or in your bank account to confirm that you do not identify it. In this case, immediately contact your bank\u2019s customer service department. They will tell you how to act and, if it is indeed an undue charge, how to claim a refund. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bizum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Depositphotos_431413098_s-2019.jpg\" alt=\"Bizum never asks for passwords or account numbers.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8535 size-full\"><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bizum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Depositphotos_235295450_s-2019.jpg\" alt=\"Vishing is a new method of scamming that combines telephone and internet to deceive users and fraudulently ask them for personal data.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"655\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8540 size-full\"><\/p>\n\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n<section\r\n    class=\"m22-content-simple m22-content-simple--border-straight\"\r\n    id=\"m22-section-2\"\r\n    aria-label=\"Contenido simple\"\r\n>\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"m22-content-simple__card\">\r\n\r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__content\">\r\n\r\n                \r\n                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__body\">\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__sidebar\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-block\">\r\n                                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-row\">\r\n\r\n                                    \r\n                                                                            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title\">\r\n                                            <p>Social Security and Bizum in a case of \u2018vishing\u2019.<\/p>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    \r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__main\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__text\">\r\n                                <p>You may be familiar with this fraud. Cybercriminals impersonate Social Security officials and make believe that a deposit will arrive to your account through Bizum. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osi.es\/es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Office of Internet Security<\/a> (OSI), under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.incibe.es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Institute of Cybersecurity<\/a>, has warned of an alleged scam consisting of <strong>calls that impersonate the agency <\/strong>to make charges to users through <strong>Bizum<\/strong>. A fraudulent call is received from a supposed Social Security official with the excuse of returning an amount of money, for example, for having dependent children or maternity. Sometimes the reason is not detailed. The communication requires the use of Bizum because the cybercriminal sends the user a <strong>notification through it. <\/strong>The sender may even appear as TGSS, to give greater credibility. The deception comes when <strong>the request that is received is not for a payment, but is a collection request<\/strong>. If the person does not realize it and accepts it, a charge will be made.  <\/p>\n<p><span>Pay attention to these 3 signs of suspicion!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><strong> Neither your bank nor Bizum will ask you for your account number.<\/strong><span>. Si alguien lo hace en su nombre, no accedas. <\/span><span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>2.<strong> Be suspicious if institutions<\/strong> such as the Social Security, Tax Authorities, Post Office\u2026 <strong>ask<\/strong> you <strong>for personal data<\/strong>. 3. If the requested steps take you to an external link <strong>, do not do anything until you confirm that it is a real URL<\/strong>. Any change in your application is done within the banking app environment.

announcing that he\/she has won a prize and that he\/she must click on a certain link to receive it, generally, this link usually asks for some compromising information such as the bank account number.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this case, the best way to avoid Internet scams is to pay attention to the \u201churry\u201d that the sms tries to convey, and that only seeks that we do not have time to verify the source of the message. When a prize is really won, the entity will never rush the user to claim it, since the prize is already yours and you usually have a fairly long period of time to request it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the same way, it is common that these supposed prizes come from sweepstakes in which we have never really participated, so they are already a bit creepy. Whenever you receive a sms or email warning of a supposed prize that you never looked for, do not click on the link (and much less, give your personal data) because it is a scam. <\/span><\/p>\n\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n<section\r\n    class=\"m22-content-simple m22-content-simple--border-straight\"\r\n    id=\"m22-section-7\"\r\n    aria-label=\"Contenido simple\"\r\n>\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"m22-content-simple__card\">\r\n\r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__content\">\r\n\r\n                \r\n                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__body\">\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__sidebar\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-block\">\r\n                                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-row\">\r\n\r\n                                    \r\n                                                                            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title\">\r\n                                            <p>Phishingone of the most common Internet scams.<\/p>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    \r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__main\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__text\">\r\n                                <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another of the most common Internet scams is known as \u201cphishing\u201d.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">phishing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThis stratagem consists of duplicating a web page in an almost identical way and sending it to the potential victim. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is usually done by first sending a message via sms or email warning of suspicious activity in your bank account, when entering the forged page, the victim enters his username and password, thinking that he is really entering his bank; however, this data reaches a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hacker<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> who will automatically change the username and password to make the new account his own.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This scam can be used to lose accounts of all kinds, and not only monetary ones, but also access to web pages or social network accounts with a large number of followers.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most important thing is not to access any website that is not the official one, nor to call any telephone number other than the one provided by the corporate website itself.

Messages informing you that you will be refunded an amount of money or that your account has been debited. <\/li>\n<li>\u2013 Instead of already calling the bank, the person calls the number from which the message is sent.<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 A <strong>switchboard<\/strong><strong> asks for our ID and card number<\/strong> to supposedly cancel the fraudulent purchase or to make a refund.<\/li>\n<li>\u2013 To obtain this information, criminals impersonate a third party. We have just provided the information they need to defraud us. <\/li>\n<li>\u2013 The solution is to <strong>ignore the<\/strong> <strong>initial<\/strong> <strong>SMS<\/strong>, not to call the phone number or provide personal data over the phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n
