Has anyone else received fairly regular requests by email from, supposedly Hellenic Bank, asking us to validate our personal details? We've assumed it's a scam and have deleted them, but just thought I'd ask as we've received two this week.
Thanks

A phone call to your bank branch would verify if its a scam.
Re: Request from Hellenic Bank to validate personal details
If you received an email which shas a pdf file attached and the text of the message starts:
We value the business relationship and your trust in Hellenic Bank and thus we would like to take this opportunity to keep you informed about current tax reporting requirements and provide you with the opportunity to advise the Bank of any changes that concern your tax residency/business status.
Then you are required to complete attached form and return. If it does not have attachment or the above text I would assume it is spam and delete it.

Most of these are scams. Do phone or call into the bak to check. That is the only real way to confirm or not.
All things are possible
