After CNSS members, it is now those from the National Fund for Social Security Organizations (CNOPS) who are the targets of phone fraud attempts. Here again, the process is the same: call the member and try to extract bank details from them in order to use them for fraudulent purposes.
It is Al Akhbar which reports the information in its May 24 edition, explaining that CNOPS has just issued an alert reminding members to never communicate their personal information, much less bank details, either by phone or through suspicious websites.
The same source adds that this alert was raised after fund members reported receiving phone calls from unknown persons posing as CNOPS employees, who asked them for bank details in exchange for compensation.
As the newspaper writes, all CNOPS employees adhere to a system that prohibits them from communicating personal data with members by phone, and that no external party is responsible for this on behalf of the treasury. The member can track reimbursement processing for medical records directly through a digital platform that can be connected to in a completely secure way.
CNOPS invites victims to file a report with the judicial police. As he recalls Al Akhbarthe case of CNOPS is not alone, since experts have recently noticed the multiplication of this type of business, whose target is generally members of commission organizations, clients of banking institutions or insured persons.
Often the process consists of convincing the target, by phone call or texting, to give out their bank details in order to steal the money.
