Scammers have been sending e-mails in the name of ERSTE BANK or Sparkasse for several days – and unfortunately with success. A social club in Linz lost 200,000 euros.
The recipients are asked to make an appointment for a consultation so that the internet banking system can be optimized (update from s Identity 2.0). In reality, the account access details are lured out by the link sent, the perpetrators prepare payments and eventually release them through the account holders. A Linzer or a social association suffered a total of 200,000 euros in damage in this way on Wednesday.
Police notification
Neither ERSTE BANK / Sparkasse nor other financial institutions send such e-mails; make sure you delete it! In the event of damage, immediately inform the account institution and then report it to the police.
