Fraudsters have returned with a perfidious phishing campaign that has been emerging in recent months. Again, they try to extort sensitive data and money by offering the alleged sale of Poczta Polska parcels.
“Poczta Polska does not carry out such actions.” Criminals are trying to trick us again
As the CERT team of Poczta Polska writes, in social media which “Poczta Polska was unable to provide”. Cybercriminals, impersonating the postal operator, try to encourage potential victims to visit a fake website that supposedly allows the purchase of such parcels.
The company’s experts warn on the X portal that this is complete nonsense, because Poczta Polska does not organize this type of action. Links from advertisements, in turn, lead to crafted pages that phishing for sensitive personal and financial data.
We are again seeing an advertising campaign on social media for the alleged sale of undeliverable packages. This is a scam. We warn you. Poczta Polska does not carry out such actions, the advertisements lead to websites that phishing financial and personal data
– writes the CERT team of Poczta Polska.
Once again they impersonate the Polish Post Office
Fraudsters very often use the image of Poczta Polska in their activities. For the last time, the CERT team of the Polish operator warned against the SMS campaign of cybercriminals in mid-August. Scammers from China sent text messages to Poles in which they informed about the alleged suspension of the shipment. They encouraged people to click on suspicious links under the pretext of “updating information”. Poczta Polska has never sent such messages.
Criminals also actively impersonate courier companies, telecommunications operators or streaming services, informing, for example, about alleged problems with payment. In order not to fall for similar phishing campaigns, it is worth paying special attention not only to the content of the message, but also to the link itselfwhich is always attached to it. On suspicious pages – if we open any – no information should be provided about yourself and log in to any accounts.
