The FSC says it has received numerous emails purporting to have been sent by Jyske Bank in Gibraltar.

The emails contain a link, directing recipients to a bogus 'Authentication' web-page, which prompts visitors to the web-page to enter a username and password.

The FSC says that it is clear that this is an attempt to reach Jyske Bank (Gibraltar) Limited's customers in order to trick them into disclosing their online banking login details, which the perpetrators would then use to gain access to their bank accounts.

The FSC, working closely with Jyske Bank (Gibraltar) Limited's compliance team, is issuing this warning to alert the bank's customers in order to protect the latter from suffering financial loss.

Persons who have received one of these emails should delete them and if they wish block the sender. The FSC also strongly advises that recipients should not click on any links provided within the email.

Genuine banks such as Jyske Bank (Gibraltar) Limited do not send emails to its customers, asking them to disclose security details.

Any customers who have received emails such as the ones described above and have concerns, should contact the Manager, Enforcement on +350 200 40283 or by e-mail to the FSC Enforcement Division or contact Jyske Bank (Gibraltar) Limited.
