Muscat: The Central Bank of Oman has warned customers against providing banking or personal information to any source or entity.
In a statement issued by CBO said: "The Central Bank would like to state that all licensed banks operating in the Sultanate or exchange companies do not request any banking information such as the password, bank card number, or account number, either by calling or through various social media or by sending text messages requesting direct access via specific links."
"Those who are exposed to such messages or communications must inform the competent authorities represented by the Royal Oman Police or the banks operating in the Sultanate," CBO added.
