Shipping surcharge? Be careful!
CERT Poczta Polska (Polish Post) is reporting an ongoing phishing campaign. Beware of fake SMS messages about parcels. Cybercriminals are impersonating Poczta Polska and attempting to extort personal and payment card information.
Scammers send text messages claiming to require payment of a small fee, such as customs duties for shipping. The message contains a link that leads to a fake website.
How does fraud work?
After entering the fake website, you may be asked to provide information such as:
- name and surname,
- address and other personal data,
- payment card number,
- card expiration date,
- CVV code, i.e. three digits on the back of the card.
Do not provide this information. If it is obtained, criminals may be able to use your card or other information.
