The Central Bank of Brazil has instructed banks to implement a PIX scam alert system by 2025. This measure aims to protect users from fraudulent transactions made through the PIX instant payment system. The alert system will notify customers of potential scams and provide guidance on how to avoid falling victim to them. The system will monitor transactions and identify suspicious patterns that may indicate a scam attempt. Customers will receive alerts via SMS, email, or the bank's mobile app. The alert will include information about the suspected scam, such as the amount involved, the recipient's details, and instructions on how to report the incident. The Central Bank emphasizes the importance of customer vigilance and encourages users to be cautious when making PIX payments. Banks are also advised to provide clear and concise information about the alert system to their customers.
