Rhybudd / Warning

Dyfed Powys Police

Rydym yn parhau i weld pobl yn mynd i drybini oherwydd troseddwyr sy'n esgus eu bod yn gweithio i’r banc ac yn dweud bod cyfrif banc person wedi'i gyfaddawdu.

Weithiau, mae'n dilyn neges destun ffug (mae'r dioddefwr yn sylweddoli mai twyll ydyw ac yn dileu'r neges destun).

Fodd bynnag, ddiwrnod yn ddiweddarach mae'r dioddefwr yn derbyn galwad ffôn. Mae'r troseddwr yn esgus ei fod yn gweithio i’r banc ac yn dweud ei fod yn ymwybodol bod yr unigolyn wedi derbyn neges destun ffug, ond mae'r cyfrif banc wedi’i gyfaddawdu rywsut yn awr.

Y cam nesaf yw cael y dioddefwr i symud ei arian i gyfrif 'diogel' – nid yw'r dioddefwr yn ymwybodol, ond cyfrif troseddwr yw'r cyfrif hwn.

Os yw'r dioddefwr yn dweud bod yr ap bancio’n dweud bod y cyfrif yn newydd ac na ellir ei ddilysu, bydd y troseddwr yn dweud mai cyfrif newydd ydyw, ond ei fod yn ddiogel.

Bydd y troseddwr yn aml yn dweud wrth y dioddefwr am ffonio'r rhif ar gefn ei gerdyn banc i wirio hyn – ond mae’n dweud y gallai'r dioddefwr golli ei holl arian gan fod yn rhaid iddo aros i gael ei gysylltu a mynd drwy'r broses ddilysu gydag aelod arall o'r staff bancio.

Mae'r dioddefwr dan bwysau, ac mae’n poeni y bydd yn colli ei arian, felly mae’n trosglwyddo'r arian heb ffonio'r banc.

Nid yw troseddwyr yn poeni pwy maen nhw’n dwyn oddi wrthynt. Busnes ydyw iddyn nhw.

Rhybudd!

  1. Mae troseddwyr yn ffonio ac yn esgus eu bod yn gweithio i’ch banc. 
  2. Maen nhw’n dweud bod eich cyfrif wedi’i gyfaddawdu a bod angen ichi symud arian i gyfrif diogel.
  3. Ni fydd banc go iawn byth yn gwneud hyn.
  4. Os fyddwch chi’n derbyn y math hwn o alwad, rhowch y ffôn i lawr a pheidiwch â sgwrsio â’r galwr. 
  5. Arhoswch 5 munud cyn galw unrhyw un arall rhag ofn bod y llinell wedi’i chadw ar agor.
  6. Galwch y rhif ar gefn eich cerdyn banc os fyddwch chi byth angen cadarnhau manylion gyda’ch banc.

We are continuing to see people falling foul of criminals that pretend to be from the bank and stating that a person’s bank account has been compromised.

Sometimes it follows a fake text message (the victim realises it is a scam and deletes the text).

However, a day later the victim receives a call and the criminals pretend to be from the bank and state that they are aware that the person has received a fake text message, and the bank account has now somehow become compromised.

The next stage is to get the victim to move their money into a ‘safe’ account – the victim is unaware, but this account is a criminal’s account.

If the victim says that the banking app is stating that the account is new and cannot be verified, the criminal (pretending to be the bank) will state that the account has only just been set up, but is safe. They will often tell the victim to phone the number on the back of their bank card to check – but they put in the proviso that the victim may lose all their money as they have to wait to be connected and go through the verification process with another member of the banking staff!

The pressure is on, the victim is worried about losing their money, and so they go ahead and transfer the money without phoning the bank, as they believe they are speaking with a trusted employee of the bank already…

It is a reminder that criminals do not care who they steal from, it is a business.

Warning!

  1. Criminals are phoning and pretending to be your bank.
  2. They tell you that your account has been compromised and that you need to move money to a safe account.
  3. A real bank will never do this.
  4. If you receive this type of call, put the phone down and do not engage in conversation.
  5. Wait 5 minutes before calling anyone else in case the line has been kept open.
  6. Phone the number on the back of your bank card if you ever need to confirm details with your bank.
