Danger! Fraud warning: How to protect yourself from Phishing in Dortmund!

Dortmund, Deutschland - More and more buyers on classified ads are becoming victims of sneaky fraudsters! The Dortmund police warn of a perfidious fraud scheme that is directed against sellers who offer their articles online. The crooks do not strike, not to steal the goods, but to steal valuable personal data!

The process is brazen: An interested buyer contacts the seller and directs him to a link to a phishing page. There the bank details are tapped and the unsuspecting victims are forwarded to a video identification process-supposedly for a payment system. In truth, the procedure for opening the account is used in the Bitpanda crypto tour. The police give clear advice: Be careful when you are offered unknown payment systems and never give personal data without a precise check prize!
