Standard Bank customers, be aware of phishing email messages like the one below that are being sent by cybercriminals to potential victims, with an attached form or HTML Webpage requesting personal and financial information. Standard Bank will never send their customers an email message with an attached form or HTML Webpage requesting personal, financial or account information.
