POLICE WARNING: A new scam is spreading through WhatsApp

- The so-called "phishing action" is underway, aimed at users of various online advertisements. The perpetrators most often use the WhatsApp mobile application in communication with the victims, through which they forward links to fake sites of companies that deliver goods.

In this way, they collect personal data and data on bank cards and CVV card number, and then perform unauthorized transactions at various online points of sale abroad.

These attacks are becoming more frequent and we have repeatedly warned citizens about them through the media - we are again warning citizens about the danger of giving personal and financial data to unknown persons.
