In an official statement released via its social media channels, particularly its Facebook page, Algeria Post detailed the modus operandi of these scams. Fraudsters often use misleading calls or messages to solicit confidential data, which can then be exploited for illicit access to accounts.

The institution provided clear guidance for those who may inadvertently compromise their security. If a customer shares an OTP, they are advised to immediately change their password for the Baridi Mob application. This swift action is crucial to mitigate potential financial risks and protect personal data. Algeria Post continues to remind users that legitimate financial institutions will never ask for such sensitive information through unsolicited calls or messages.
