Watch out for social engineering!

Nowadays social engineering is the most common technique used for crime involving debit and credit cards. The gullibility and trust of the cardholder is shamelessly exploited. No trick is too shameless for the perpetrators as they seek out the personal data of their victims. Typical examples of social engineering attacks are phishing, vishing or account takeover.

This is what you can do against social engineering:
# Do not click on links in emails, and do not open attachments.
# Visit only trustworthy websites (https://).
# Buy only from trustworthy retailers: “trusted shops”.
# Never give out personal data readily or to strangers.
# Never pass texted access codes on to third parties.
