Date: August 25, 2023

In a recent announcement, the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) has issued a crucial warning to its cherished customers and the public at large. The bank wants to ensure that its valued patrons are protected from potential online scams that aim to exploit unsuspecting individuals.

The statement, issued by ADB, is a stern caution against fraudulent activities that have been reported involving individuals impersonating the bank and conducting fake online promotions and surveys. These scammers have been targeting customers, attempting to gather sensitive information or deceive them into parting with their hard-earned money.

The ADB, an institution known for its commitment to agriculture and rural development, has reiterated that it is currently not running any online promotions or surveys. The bank strongly advises all its customers and anyone who may encounter such offers to exercise extreme caution and refrain from engaging with these scammers.



Such scams often take the form of deceptive emails, messages, or social media posts that appear to be from legitimate sources. They may promise incredible rewards or incentives in exchange for personal or financial information. The scammers behind these schemes are skilled at creating convincing replicas of official websites and branding to deceive unsuspecting victims.

ADB's commitment to ensuring the safety and security of its customers is evident in this proactive warning. The bank advises customers to follow these essential steps to protect themselves from online scams:

1. Verify the Source: Always double-check the authenticity of any communication claiming to be from ADB. Contact the bank directly using the official contact information available on their website if you have doubts about the legitimacy of a message.


2. Protect Personal Information: Never share sensitive personal or financial information, such as passwords, PINs, or account details, with anyone over the internet or phone unless you are certain of their identity.


3. Use Secure Channels: Ensure that you are using secure and encrypted connections when accessing your online banking or communicating with your bank.


4. Stay Informed: Stay updated on the latest types of scams and fraud tactics that are circulating. Awareness is one of the most potent tools in preventing scams.

ADB remains committed to maintaining the trust and security of its customers. The bank encourages customers to report any suspicious activity immediately to their customer service or through the appropriate channels.
