Black Friday: Bargain or trap?

On 28 November 2025, countless special offers will be tempting - but scammers will also be particularly active.

25.11.2025 –

Because many people pay for their bargains online with a credit or debit card on Black Friday, criminals try to obtain card details using fake shops or phishing emails.

So the rule here is #upfasse - be on your guard!

Be careful with offers that sound too good to be true and if the providers are unknown to you.
Always check the sender’s email and URL very carefully.
Type in the web address yourself (don’t use links).
Use the two-factor authentication when paying.
Only authorise payment confirmations once you have checked all the details of the amount and the merchant’s name.
