The methods used by cyber criminals are becoming increasingly bold. The most common scams at a glance – and how you can protect yourself from them.
Over a quarter of citizens already have personal experience with cybercrime made. From the theft of money through hacked accounts to fake calls with deceptively real voices - the scams are becoming more and more bold. With increasing technological advances, fraudsters are also presented with completely new opportunities. It's easy to lose track of things - especially when it comes to very cheap offers. Be careful, especially when you have to order from a very cheap online shop. Don't click on links in SMS or emails. If you have entered login details on a phishing site, these should be changed immediately. Two-factor authentication is recommended for the future. Pay attention to your withdrawals and file a report with your local police station. If the fraudster does not arrive by post to the buyer's address, the victim ends up as the perpetrator. In the end, you want to keep the product, as you have paid for it.
