Farming businesses should be aware of the emergence of a scam in which fraudsters pretend to be from a bank’s fraud department, targeting those who may be receiving their Single Payment Scheme payments at this time of year.

Please be aware that your bank will NEVER phone you and ask for the following:
  • Your full online password information
  • Any one time password using your online banking token
  • To make a payment over the phone using your online account

If you receive a call purporting to be from your bank and they suggest that you call them back ensure that you can hear a dial tone first or use a mobile to phone the bank directly (as the landline may be held open by the fraudster).
