We have received numerous reports of fraudulent emails in which cybercriminals are posing as Argenta Bank.
In the email, the fraudsters ask you to click on a link to supposedly confirm your identity in accordance with the GDPR. This is a ploy to obtain your bank details and defraud you.
You will notice that the sender's email address is not Argenta's.
Do not click on this type of link and, if in doubt, always consult the official website https://www.argenta.be/.
