Just 6 Questions That Can Help Protect Your Loved Ones

Take this short quiz with your loved ones aged 60 and over. Today, this age group is more frequently targeted by fraudsters, and a simple conversation about digital safety can help prevent financial fraud.

Ask them these questions:

• Do you know that a bank will never ask you to transfer money to a "safe" or "reserve" account?

• Do you know that any voice on the phone can now be convincingly cloned using artificial intelligence?

• Do you know that fraudsters may already know personal information such as your name, address, or place of residence?

• Do you know that you should never install any application at the request of someone calling you?

• Do you know that if a conversation is about money, you can safely end the call and contact the bank yourself using its official phone number?

• Do you know that any demand to make a decision "right now" is one of the most common signs of fraud?

If the answer to any of these questions is "No," take 10 minutes to talk with your loved ones. That conversation could one day protect their savings.

Explain that bank employees will never ask customers to transfer money to "safe" accounts, that voices and even video calls can now be easily faked using artificial intelligence, and agree that whenever they have doubts, they should first call you or contact Bank Kompanion directly at 88-00.

That one conversation could make all the difference in protecting their money.
