NBK holds banking awareness session at English Academy
KUWAIT: National Bank of Kuwait organized a session for the English Academy students to discuss 'Let's Be Aware' campaign to raise awareness about different popular fraud methods as well as ways to avoid them and stay secure online. During this interactive session, NBK's team presented many examples and case studies, and asked the students several questions to test their understanding. Not only did the session aim to raise awareness, but also teach students to be vigilant and one step ahead to protect their personal information. The team also gave a lot of useful advice to the students to help them avoid fraudulent actions. These included refraining from sharing any banking information or sensitive data with any person or entity, and not responding to any alleged bank-related messages or phone calls. NBK officials affirmed that the bank would never ask customers for personal information via e-mail, SMS or phone calls. The team warned students against responding to such messages, because they are fraud attempts aiming to steal banking or sensitive information. Students were reminded by the team of ways to differentiate between real and fake websites. They also advised them not to click on suspicious links whether on fake accounts on social media or e-mails that use famous logos of banks and telecommunication companies for the purpose of stealing personal information. Many other fraudulent methods were also discussed with the students, such as how some fake accounts build trust with targeted victims by giving them fake offers and appealing rewards. The team warned students against falling for such traps. On this occasion, Adnan Al-Tamimi, Digital Communications Specialist at NBK , said: 'We recognize the importance of raising awareness to fight fraud, which is why we are always keen on raising financial awareness and spreading financial knowledge among society members, including school and university students as well as elders. We also strive to come up with new ways that contribute to educating people on how to protect their financial data and accounts.' Al-Tamami added: 'NBK employs all its efforts to communicate with customers through its digital channels that are followed the most among local banks to guarantee that the objectives of 'Let's Be Aware' campaign reach the widest segment of society.' Al-Tamimi emphasized NBK's continued commitment to providing support to significant strategic campaigns that focus on benefiting society and national economy, further noting that the bank's efforts to fight fraud and educate customers is an integral part of its strategy. Introduced by the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK), in cooperation with Kuwaiti banks and Kuwait Banking Association (KBA), the 'Let's Be Aware' campaign is the largest across the GCC region focusing on raising banking and financial awareness among bank customers. The campaign covers a variety of crucial topics, including anti-fraud tips, raising awareness on high-risk investments, maximizing benefits from banking services, promoting savings and investment culture, as well as other related topics. It is worth mentioning that NBK is a key supporter and partner in all CBK's campaigns and initiatives to increase financial and banking awareness among different sectors.

Case of an adulterous wife forbidden to see her girls
KUWAIT CITY, May 29: The Misdemeanor Court acquitted a Kuwaiti citizen of preventing his exwife, who was convicted of adultery, from seeing her minor daughters and the court declared her guilty of endangering their lives, causing them psychological harm and neglecting them. Attorney Zaid Al-Khabbaz, who appeared with the citizen in court, requested his client's acquittal. His client denied the accusation, clarifying that his client prevented the complainant from seeing his children because she was accused of adultery, which she had admitted. He also stated that he feared for his daughters' safety due to the behavior of the complainant. The court confirmed in its reasoning that the citizen did not prevent his daughters from seeing their mother due to his own whims, but rather out of fear that they would follow their mother's shameful and ugly behavior. The court stated that the Child Protection Office report included numerous expressions from which the court inferred the girls' hatred and loathing for their mother who was setting a bad example for her daughters. The court feared that if the accused was punished, the complainant would be able to see the girls; something that should not happen in light of her shameful and ugly behavior, from which the girls should be kept safe.
