LandBank raises scam alert

The Land Bank of the Philippines announced today that it does not send official emails and text messages with clickable hyperlinks, as part of the bank’s continuing efforts to ramp up security and better protect customers against the prevalence of phishing and other online scams.

All emails and text messages allegedly from LandBank or a representative of the bank that has a clickable link is definitely fake and part of a scam.

LandBank customers and the general public are advised not to click hyperlinks in these fake emails and text messages, and to immediately report receipt of the same to their respective Branches of account or through the LandBank Customer Care Hotline at (02) 8-405-7000 or 1-800-10-405-7000, or via email at customercare@mail.landbank.com.

Online scam prevalent

The bank also recently warned against an online scam using Google Ads that lead to fake LandBank phishing websites.

LandBank reiterated that it has not placed any ads on Google.

The public is advised to remain vigilant against phishing websites masquerading as official LandBank websites, as well as all other forms of online banking fraud.
