Observed modus operandi
Fraudsters contact Lydia customers by text message or email pretending to be Lydia. The email or text message in question often contains a link to a Lydia branded page, where the visitor is asked to enter their Lydia password.
Once they have obtained a Lydia password, these fraudsters can try to log into the customer's Lydia account and take possession of their money, or even change their log-in details to block the customer's access to their own account.
Anti-fraud reminders to protect you
- Lydia will never ask you to enter your password outside the application, by email, SMS or phone call. This password belongs to you and is strictly confidential.
- You can always manage your account directly via your mobile application.
- Never give out your login details, security codes, bank details, etc. by telephone, text message or e-mail. Similarly, never confirm a payment that you have not initiated.
Lydia's anti-fraud department does everything in its power to identify and neutralise these fraudsters.
