Why do credit cards receive information about paying water and electricity fees abroad?

The reasons why the card receives the information of paying water and electricity fees abroad are information fraud, misoperation and personal information disclosure.

1. Fraud information: Some criminals will use the name of the bank to send fraudulent short messages to induce the victims to click on the link or reply to the verification code, thus achieving the purpose of defrauding funds. If a cardholder receives a suspicious short message, he should check it through the official customer service channel of the bank, and don't trust the information of unknown origin.

2. Misoperation: Sometimes the cardholder may inadvertently enter the wrong number, or choose the wrong country or region when setting the payment method, causing the bank to send the wrong information. In this case, the cardholder can contact the bank customer service for correction.

3. Personal information disclosure: If the cardholder's personal information is disclosed, it may be used by criminals for illegal activities, including using the cardholder's information for fraud or theft. If the cardholder suspects that personal information has been leaked, he should take measures to protect the security of the account as soon as possible, such as changing the password and contacting bank customer service.
