Standard Bank's response to social media videos published by @DrAneleMngadi is so much more fact based and realistic. sprou.tt/1yV1kwOWCLJ

FRAUD WARNING FROM STANDARD BANK’s head of fraud Marius le Roux: “In recent cases, we’ve seen fraudsters impersonate reputable individuals or bank staff with astonishing accuracy. We are seeing a rise in scams where AI‑generated voices, cloned emails, and deepfake content are used to mimic legitimate communication from the bank,” he said. Today’s scams look and sound more real than ever before, he said, enabling fraudsters to manipulate victims into sharing sensitive banking information, unknowingly granting remote access to their banking profile, or investing in entirely fabricated opportunities. Phishing remains one of the most common ways criminals gain access to accounts, with many victims unknowingly providing login credentials on fake websites or via malicious links and QR codes disguised as bank communication. Standard Bank notes that these scams are increasingly sophisticated and often replicate the bank’s branding so well that even cautious consumers may fall victim. “Once fraudsters have the customer’s username, password, or intercepted One‑Time-Pin (OTP), they can rapidly escalate their attack,” explains Le Roux. He says fraudsters often combine phishing with other forms of attacks, including spoofed phone calls that appear to come from the bank’s real number. During the call, they try to scare or convince the person into sharing sensitive information like banking details, passwords, PINs, or OTPs. Sometimes they also trick victims into making payments them. “The fraudster’s goal is to gain access to the person’s money or personal information by creating a sense of urgency or trust over the phone. It is therefore essential for customers to remain vigilant, verify any suspicious communications, and follow strong security practices to protect their personal and sensitive banking information,” he said. He urges customers to make use of Standard Bank’s trusted fraud‑prevention features. The bank’s Trusted Person tool adds an extra layer of payment protection by allowing a nominated individual to confirm or decline unusual transactions, while its Trust Call technology helps customers identify unknown callers and determine whether a call may be a scam. How to protect yourself from multi‑layered scams  *   Never click links, open attachments, or scan QR codes sent through email or text. Standard Bank does not send links or QR codes through email or text, for logging in, updating details, redeeming rewards, or ordering cards.  *   Never share your sensitive banking information. This includes your login credentials, card number and expiry date, CVV (three digits on the back of your card), OTPs, or ATM PIN.  *   Avoid disclosing personal financial details, such as information about your investments or where you hold other financial products.  *   Frequently check your account statements. Standard Bank customers can enable MyUpdates through in-App SMSes or emails to notify them of what’s happening on their accounts, allowing them to always track any suspicious or unauthorized transactions and promptly report them.

@ZandiSussex She is walking in stilettos on gravel, hence the awkward walk. Nothing bizarre about her demure.

Nothing about this is normal.😱 At what point do the people who care about Kate actually step in & intervene? She looks perilously thin, shaky & unsteady on her feet. And no it’s not the fake Kancer because this has gone on since way before that.

@thelostsheep1 @John_Mars3 @IOL ICBC has only a 20% stake in Standard Bank Group.

@John_Mars3 @IOL But it’s a Chinese owned bank

South Africa's banking system remains a fortress of white male power 30 years after democracy. The exclusion continues, with black businesses locked out and working-class citizens exploited. It's time for #Transformation! #RightToBank #FinancialExclusion iol.co.za/news/opinion/b…

@MeyerDrina @eNCA Digitalisation is not about taking jobs away from people. It is creating and enabling a digitalised nation to make education, services and the economy more accessible to more people.

@eNCA So taking jobs and replace with digital. Well done on the more unemployment and yet these people losing their jobs to machines are still voting for you. The mentality escapes me

@wayneduv @city_mogale @MYANC Road construction on the M5 (Beyers Naude Drive) past Honeydew to the N14 came to a sudden halt 2 years ago. Millions spent. Tonnes of material in the site going to waste. What is the plan?

What a disgrace. The @city_mogale @MYANC led municipality are so out of their depth, on what it means to be accountable for this issue. Our world heritage site (the Cradle of Humankind) stands to lose its international status, all because this muppet municipality has not idea of how to address the maintenance and management of waste water treatment plants. youtube.com/watch?v=JoQFEW…

@nasiphim Who taught this "Officer" to drive? Basic mistakes that would have failed in a driver licence test.
