Be Cyber Strong, Firmly Say No, Hang up on the Scammer / Byddwch yn Seiber Gadarn, Dywedwch Na a Rhowch y Ffôn i Lawr ar y Scamwyr.

We’ve received recent reports of members of the public in North Wales receiving phone calls from someone claiming to be from the bank’s fraud squad.

The call recipients have been told that the Bank have identified that Fraudsters are about to target them and have compromised their account and that the bank have therefore opened a new account for them in a different name to protect them and their money from the fraudsters targeting them. 

They scammer calling has then tried to persuade the call recipient to transfer their money from their original bank account into the new account in order to keep it safe from the fraudsters. Callers like this can often be very persuasive, persistent and overbearing and so it can be overwhelming for someone who is elderly or vulnerable in any way.

Please make sure that friends, family and neighbours who you believe may be targeted by this sort of call know to be cyber strong, firmly say no and to hang up on the scammer.

Rydym wedi derbyn adroddiadau diweddar am aelodau o'r cyhoedd yng Ngogledd Cymru yn derbyn galwadau ffôn gan rywun yn honni i fod o dîm twyll y banc. 

Mae’r twyllwr sy’n galw wedi honni fod y Banc wedi adnabod fod yr unigolyn y maen’t yn ei ffonio ar fin cael eu targedu gan sgamwyr a bod ei cyfrif a’u harian o dan fygythiad ac fod y banc felly wedi agor cyfrif newydd iddyn nhw o dan enw gwahanol i'w hamddiffyn nhw a'u harian rhag y twyllwyr sy'n eu targedu. 

Mae'r sgamiwr sy'n galw wedyn wedi ceisio perswadio derbynnydd yr alwad i drosglwyddo eu harian o'u cyfrif gwreiddiol i'r cyfrif newydd yma i'w gadw'n ddiogel rhag y twyllwyr. Gall galwyr fel hyn fod yn ddarbwyllol ac argyhoeddiadol iawn ac felly gall ddrysu rhywun sy'n hŷn neu'n fregus mewn unrhyw ffordd. 

Sicrhewch fod eich ffrindiau, teulu a chymdogion yr ydych chi'n meddwl a allai gael eu targedu gan dwyll o’r math yma yn gwybod i fod yn seiber gadarn, dweud na a rhoi'r ffôn i lawr ar y sgamwyr.
