The General Directorate of National Security and the National Gendarmerie have alerted citizens to a rise in banking and postal account fraud. Scammers are impersonating officials or security personnel to trick victims into revealing sensitive financial data, such as Edahabia card details or OTP codes. By creating a sense of urgency or claiming that a account is at risk, criminals pressure individuals into bypassing security protocols. Authorities and Algérie Poste emphasize that official institutions will never ask for private passwords or confirmation codes via phone or text messages. Citizens are urged to remain vigilant, ignore suspicious links, and never disclose sensitive information to unidentified callers. If fraud is suspected or data has been shared, victims must immediately contact their bank through official channels to secure their accounts.
