You get an unexpected message saying: “Congratulations, you’ve been chosen to receive a €10 million inheritance.” or “You’ve won a lottery prize.”.
Even if the story sounds far-fetched, scammers know how to grab their victims' attention. They often pose as an exiled prince, a supposed heir, or a representative of a foreign lottery. But they all have the same goal:to deceive you and get your money.
Be wary of messages about unexpected prizes or inheritances.
Never share personal or banking details with unknown individuals or through unverified channels.
Don’t make upfront payments for vague reasons.
Always verify information through reliable sources and official channels.
Scams are often disguised as emergencies or threats. Be especially wary of any urgent requests for details or payments.
Keep calm, use your common sense, and if you think you might be a victim of fraud, get in touch with CaixaBank immediately through the official channels: Wall or by calling 938 87 25 25.
