Swedbank hoiatas, et liikvel on erinevaid andmete õngitsemise e-kirju ehk nn phishingu kirju, kus kaardi omanikel palutakse klikkida lingil ning sisestada kaardi- ja muid isikuandmeid, mida kaardiorganisatsioonid kui ka muud organisatsioonid (nt. Paypal, Apple, I-tunes jne) üldjuhul mitte kunagi kliendilt ise ei küsi.
"Meie soovitus klientidele on mitte klikkida kirjades edastatud linkidele ning mitte kunagi sisestada oma kaardi- (kaardinumber, kehtivusaeg, isiklik salasõna, turvakood jms.) ega muid isikuandmeid, edastas Swedbank.
