The “update your company documentation” bank email

A business-banking email asks you to update company documents for new regulations. No money is asked for — until an adviser walks you through codes, an approval and one last SMS.

What it looks like

Email · Your bank · Business banking
New regulations require us to update your company’s documentation. Please confirm your details by Friday to avoid restrictions on your account.

How it usually ends

The final SMS activated the bank’s app on the attacker’s phone. From there, they could approve transfers as the company.

Red flags
