The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) has urged the public against disclosure of any banking or personal information to any source or entity.

‘CBO would also like to state that all licensed banks or exchange companies operating in the sultanate do not request the disclosure of any banking information such as the password, card number or account number, by calling or contacting through various social media platforms or by sending text messages requesting direct access via links,’ CBO said in a statement.

‘Thus, whoever is exposed to such messages or communications must inform the authorities represented by the Royal Oman Police or the banks operating in the sultanate. Be aware of fraud.’
