In a new warning to citizens, Bank Al-Maghrib called for caution and not sharing secret codes or private payment information that may arrive via text messages or phone calls.
The message received by Moroccans this Friday morning in Darija stated: "Bank Al-Maghrib: Beware! Do not give the secret code that has reached you in a message or your payment information. Any message or call asking you for this is fraudulent." The bank emphasized in its awareness statement that any entity requesting this information is considered a scammer and fraudster, stressing the need not to respond or share any personal data, and the need to report immediately to the relevant banking institution. This warning comes within the ongoing efforts of Bank Al-Maghrib to combat cybercrime and protect users of digital banking services in Morocco from fraud operations.
