Using your TAIB VX mobile banking app while screen sharing - whether during online meetings or remote assistance sessions - can accidentally expose sensitive financial information, such as:
- Account Numbers
- Personal Information
- Recent transactions
- Card numbers
- OTPs or transaction prompts
Even if you're screen sharing for a non-banking purpose, switching to your banking app during a session could unintentionally broadcast this sensitive data.
How to protect yourself
Avoid screen sharing when your TAIB VX app is open.
Close the app completely before starting any screen-sharing session.
If remote assistance is needed, ensure only the necessary screen or application is shared.
Lock your device and banking apps with strong passwords or biometric security.
Never share your One-Time Password (OTP) or login credentials with anyone—even during a screen share.
Reminder
Never share your One-Time Password (OTP) or login credentials with anyone—even during a screen share.

Being scam-resilient isn’t about being tech-savvy. It’s about being vigilant, skeptical, and emotionally aware. Scams prey on human psychology, emotions, and overconfidence in digital literacy. In a hyper-connected society, many believe they are immune to scams—but this false sense of security is what scammers exploit. Tactics like impersonating authority, urgency, and emotional manipulation make people drop their guard.
Influence tactics used by scammers (Cialdini's Principles):
- Commitment: Small tasks build up to bigger traps
- Authority - Fake officials or experts
- Reciprocity - "Free" help to trigger guilt or obligation
- Liking - Fake emotional bonds or charm
- Social Proof - Fake group chats and testimonials
- Scarcity - Limited-time offers or urgency
