Warning from ABN Amro in the Netherlands Set limits on your bank account against scammers

The number of people defrauded by internet hackers is increasing day by day. ABN Amro warned citizens to take action against these scammers.

Despite daily news about online fraud and warnings from banks, almost a quarter of citizens (23 percent) have not set a card or daily limit on their bank accounts. Experts point out that taking such a security measure can complicate the job of hackers and scammers.

According to a study by Ipsos on behalf of ABN Amro, online crime and fraud are still a major problem facing many citizens.

In the Netherlands, the tendency to protect a computer or mobile phone with extra security software is quite common, although the proportion of those who make some minor changes to protect their bank accounts is low.

Almost 87 percent of computer and smartphone users use a security software on these devices. However, 65 percent use two-step verification for online services such as email, WhatsApp and social media accounts, and 58 percent use the ‘Find My Phone’ feature.

When we look at banking transactions, it is seen that the rates are low. The rate of those who set a limit on their debit card is 65 percent, and the rate of those who set a one-day limit on their bank account is 67 percent.

“Set limit for daily usage and card”
ABN Amro fraud and secure banking project leader Neiske Ritsma told the Telegraaf newspaper that it is a wise method for a person to first set a card and limit for daily use so that bank accounts and cards can be secured.

“Setting a card and daily transaction limit or getting a payment alert can make it harder for internet criminals to get as much money as possible in a short amount of time,” Ritsma said.
Ritsma stated that 72 percent of the citizens are more or less worried about being a victim of online fraud, and that 53 percent of them set both daily usage and card limits, and 80 percent of these people feel more secure.

Ritsma noted that setting a card and daily limit does not restrict the person, on the contrary, it increases their security and that this regulation can always be withdrawn, for example, when a large expenditure is planned.

Health workers campaign for higher wages in Utrecht

Health workers campaign for higher wages in Utrecht

Today in Utrecht, hundreds of healthcare workers are taking to the streets in search of higher wages and less workload.

This afternoon they are walking to a building in Oudlaan in Tuinwijk, Utrecht, where the ActiZ branch association and the Dutch Disability Care Association are located. The FNV union is waiting for hundreds of activists.

Disabled and aged care workers are demanding additional wage increases due to inflation, among other things. They also feel that something needs to be done about the high work pressure they are experiencing. That’s why employees come to Utrecht today. Activists gather in Paardenveld in the center of the city and from there march to Oudlaan in Tuinwijk.

“We were also surprised that so many people were willing to come to Utrecht because they came from all over the country,” said an FNV spokesperson. “But it shows how important it is to people. We’ve heard before that people are really willing to take action to explain to employers that this can no longer be the case.”

And it’s not just healthcare workers taking action today. Primary and secondary school teachers are also making their voices heard because they want more wages.
Protesting teachers are traveling to The Hague to hand over signatures to education minister Dennis Wiersema on behalf of the General Education Union (AOb), the Education Trade Union Federation (FvOv) and the unions FNV and CNV. There are also protest rallies in Amsterdam, Groningen, Zwolle and Maastricht. These are in the afternoon so that the students who have to take the exam will not be disturbed.
Teachers don’t want to go on strike yet, but will keep this option open if they don’t get paid more. Teachers say the government is currently offering a five percent wage increase: less than inflation. It’s unacceptable, they say.
