Touching on the issue in the fight against fraud, Ahmet Yılmaz shared information about the measures to be taken individually and in general. Yilmaz, which has been described as phishing and has been designed to simulate bank websites and directed to customers by misleading advertisements, advertisements and raffle news and stealing their data, pointed out the cases of phone fraud that are frequently encountered today and said:
“It is among the most frequently used fraud methods to obtain personal information and banking account passwords with pretexts such as customer calls, suspicious transaction reporting, data update or refund, through the data obtained by fraudsters illegally. It is possible to increase these examples, but basically there is a social engineering that we can describe as directing the will of the person. In the background, there is a huge criminal organization and every step has been designed in an organizational structure with serious planning. It is clearly seen that the system is acting on personal and human weaknesses. The most basic measure that can be taken on all of these issues is to increase our financial literacy level. ”
