Scam Alert EN Q42020

We​ remind​ you​ to​ be​ extra​ vigilant​ regarding​ websites​ claiming​ to​ belong​ to​ ABA​ Bank,​ regardless​ of​ how​ genuine​ they​ may​ appear.

Phishing​ websites​ try​ to​ pretend​ looking​ like​ ABA​ Bank​ websites,​ but​ here​ is​ how​ you​ can​ easily​ identify​ that​ you​ are​ being​ targeted​ by​ a​ scammer​ and​ protect​ yourself:

  • Pay​ great​ attention​ to​ domain​ names​ that​ are​ used​ to​ contact​ you;​ sometimes,​ it​ is​ just​ one​ letter​ that​ differs​ the​ scamming​ web​ address​ from​ the​ real​ one​ or​ the​ order​ of​ letters​ is​ very​ similar​ to​ our​ real​ web​ address,​ such​ as​:

    • ababakn.com​ (incorrect​ order​ of​ letters,​ almost​ indistinguishable​ when​ read​ fluently),​
    • ​​advancebankasia.com​ or​ advancebankofasia.com​ (pretends​ to​ represent​ the​ full​ name​ of​ ABA,​ but​ is​ grammatically​ incorrect),​
    • ababankofasla.com​ or​ ababnkofasla.com​ (uses​ l​ instead​ of​ i​ to​ look​ similar​ to​ the​ real​ name),​
    • ababankonline.com,​ ababnk-online.com​ or​ ababkonline.com,​ ababnk.com​ (pretends​ to​ be​ a​ real​ website​ of​ ABA​ and​ misses​ one​ or​ several​ letters​ in​ it),
    • advancedbankasia.com​ (pretends​ to​ show​ the​ full​ name​ of​ ABA​ and​ misses​ the​ “of”​ preposition​ before​ “asia”);
    • ababcambodia.org,​ abacamb.com​ (uses​ the​ brand​ name​ of​ the​ Bank),​ or​ other​ similar​ addresses.​


    Please​ remember​ that​ our​ official​ website​ address​ is​ www.ababank.com​ only!

  • ​Never​ disclose​ your​ personal​ or​ financial​ information​ online​ especially​ on​ unsure​ websites.
  • ​Never​ respond​ to​ any​ message​ that​ requests​ for​ your​ personal​ financial​ information.​ Sometimes,​ such​ messages​ can​ look​ or​ sound​ alarming,​ urging​ you​ to​ do​ something​ in​ short​ period​ of​ time,​ but​ it​ is​ a​ scam​ if​ not​ coming​ from​ [email protected]​ email​ address!​
  • ​Regularly​ update​ your​ antivirus​ software​ and​ its​ anti-phishing​ module​ in​ order​ to​ stay​ protected​ against​ phishing​ websites.

Please​ remember​ that​ ABA​ Bank​ will​ never​ send​ you​ a​ website​ link​ requesting​ you​ to​ enter​ your​ bank​ card​ number,​ Internet​ Banking​ login/password,​ ABA​ Mobile​ login​ or​ other​ confidential​ details.

If​ you​ received​ a​ suspicious​ email​ or​ encountered​ a​ suspicious​ website​ pretending​ to​ belong​ to​ ABA​ Bank​ and​ you​ cannot​ verify​ its​ authenticity,​ please​ immediately​ report​ us​ at​ info@remove-this.ababank.com.​ If​ you​ think​ you​ may​ have​ fallen​ victim​ to​ phishing​ or​ any​ other​ type​ of​ online​ fraud,​ please​ call​ us​ as​ soon​ as​ possible​ at​ 023​ 225​ 333​ or​ 098​ 203​ 203.
