Kenneth Maskoane: It is a concern, but I don’t really use online banking. I verify all of my information, where and who I am paying to, and I just make sure it is all correct.
Paulet Ndlovu: I am worried about them; you always need to be careful about unverified links; don’t just open them. If you get a link stating it’s from the bank, go to the bank in person to make sure.
Ofentse Mashilo: I am definitely concerned, but you have to be cautious and do your research before clicking on a link. Make sure you are on the right website and don’t download suspicious apps.
Keaneu Grobbler: It is a big problem, and they are becoming a big problem in the motor industry. Personally, I try to verify all my links and make sure they are legitimate.
