The Financial Superintendency of Colombia published a new tool on its website to prevent financial scams. The space provides information on common fraud modalities and steps to protect banking data.
The Financial Superintendency of Colombia launched a digital tool called “Protégete de los fraudes” last Thursday. It offers clear recommendations on scams such as phishing, smishing, vishing, identity theft and friendly fraud.
The resource advises verifying emails, messages and calls before clicking links. It also recommends using channels authorized by banks, especially on paydays or during events like the World Cup.
If someone is already a victim, they should immediately contact their bank, deactivate financial products if possible and report to the National Police via CAI Virtual or the Attorney General's Office. Saving evidence such as screenshots is key.
