A flat Gauer was happy with an assumed bargain: she discovered a store on the internet that offered the annual vignette for less than 100 euros! The woman suddenly discovered that this was not a good thing in the end …
The 48-year-old Flachgauer did not realize in the discount that the alleged bargain was not an official website of the Asfinag, but a fake store. So an internet fraud.
In the conviction that he had bought a vignette with 96.40 euros, the woman confirmed a so-called SMS tan. Because she had not received a confirmation via e-mail, but another request to confirm a text-tan, the Flachgauer became suspicious.
But too late: in the meantime, almost 48,000 euros were already made on your credit card account.
The police are currently investigating the background and warns about caution!
Recognize fake shops:
-
Unusually affordable prices – Extremely low prices for coveted products are often attracted to offers from dubious providers.
-
Missing or incomplete print -Serious stores have complete company information, often not -not -nip stores.
-
Suspicious payment methods – Only in advance or difficult to trace payments (eg cryptocurrencies) are a warning signal.
-
Poor contact options – Missing telephone numbers or non -functioning contact forms indicate fraud.
-
Poorly translated content and wrong – Spelling errors or poor translations indicate dubious websites.
-
Fake inspection – Approval stamps must be linked and verifiable with the official website of the provider.
Recommended: unknown websites in advance on the homepages Watchlist Internet and Fake Shop Detector.
If the damage has already occurred, making screenshots of news, chats and e -mails will make. Try to cancel the payment from the respective payment service provider. And submit a complaint to the police.
