Beware of suspicious message that appears to come from a bank

We received nearly 500 reports in the past hour of a message sent from the sender 'Service Client' with 'Bnp Paribas Fortis' in the header. It appears to come from a bank, but it is clearly fake! 

You are asked to click on a link 'Start the process' and then enter your bank details. Do not do this under any circumstances!  The scammers are trying to obtain and misuse your bank details in this way.

Don't fall into the trap!
