Access Bank customers who have received fake and phishing emails like the one below, which claim their account has been listed for suspension, are asked not to follow the instructions in them. This is because the fake emails are being sent by cybercriminals who are attempting to trick their potential victims into clicking on the links in the fake emails. The links go to a fake Access Bank where vistors are asked to sign-in. But, any attempts to sign-in will result in their Access Bank credentials being sent to the cybercriminals.

Once the cybercriminals have received the stolen credentials, they will use them fraudulently. Therefore, Access Bank customers who have been tricked by the fake and phishing email are asked to contact Access Bank for help.

And, Access Bank customers should never click on a link to sign into their accounts, they should always go directly to www.accessbankplc.com and sign-in from there instead. This will prevent them from becoming victims of phishing scam.
