Current warning about fake emails: These well-known companies are being used for phishing

According to a report by www.bild.de, the consumer advice center warns of an increase in fraudulent emails that claim to come from well-known companies such as DHL, Targobank, Sparkassen, ING, Volksbank, Commerzbank and Disney+. These emails aim to harvest personal information from consumers and then use it for fraudulent purposes.

The fraudsters are trying to take advantage of the increasing volume of packages around the holidays by sending fake emails in the name of DHL. They require recipients to click on suspicious links to supposedly check package updates. Similar emails on behalf of Targobank and other banks urge consumers to disclose personal and sensitive information under the pretext that it is necessary to protect their accounts.

Such fraudulent emails can have a significant impact on the market and consumers. When consumers fall for these phishing attempts, their personal information can be stolen and used for fraudulent activities. This can lead to financial loss, identity theft, and other serious consequences.

It is therefore crucial that consumers are aware of such fraudulent practices and be careful not to fall for such fraudulent emails. Additionally, it is important to delete suspicious emails and report them as spam to minimize the spread and success of such fraudulent activities.
