Be careful, scam! Postbank customers targeted by phishing emails
The consumer advice center is currently warning of a new fraud attempt in which fraudsters send fake emails in the name of Postbank. These emails ask recipients to verify their personal information via an attached link. This request is based on alleged unusual activity on the recipient's account. However, it is a scam designed to intercept sensitive data. It is strongly advised not to comply with such requests.
The fraudulent emails are not personally addressed and contain details that are untypical for a legitimate email notification. It is important to note that a reputable bank would never ask for data via a link in an email. Recipients of such emails are advised to mark them as spam immediately to prevent future phishing attempts.
If someone has already fallen for this fraud attempt and revealed personal information, the bank should be informed immediately. It is advisable to take further steps together with the bank. In addition, it is recommended that you file a criminal complaint with the police in such cases. It is important to act quickly to limit potential damage and prevent further fraud attempts.
