Victim of phishing: banks will be available continuously to block your banking applications
No, she didn’t have them. So the apparently well-meaning gentleman promised to call back half an hour later. This phone call seemed strange to her, Monique contacted Safeonweb, who told her not to react to the next phone call, because it was simply phishing. Followed the recommendation not to click on suspicious links or to communicate contact details and bank card numbers. An email from Safeonweb then reached Monique inviting her to recognize the fraudulent messages. Various types of scams (including love scams) can also be discovered on surfersanssoucis.safeonweb.be.
Another scam of the same type, but this time using bpost. By email, you are asked to pay a paltry sum into an account to receive a package sent from abroad, a package with insufficient postage. As soon as you have transmitted your contact details, including your mobile number, a call will come to you to warn you that a malicious person is trying to extract money from you, several bank card payments having already been recorded. Fortunately, these are only small to medium amounts. Should we object? Obviously, you mightn’t ask for anything better. This is when here too, you are asked to provide your banking details to verify their authenticity.
A most vicious emerging scam: criminal organizations defrauded Belgians of 11 million euros
Jean-Luc, who was a “victim” of this scam: “My bank, which I contacted directly, told me that no one had tried to take money from my account. I therefore had dealing with cybercriminals.”
