Pharming: Police Warning About Card Fraud

Pharming is the practice of directing internet users to fake websites without their knowledge. As with phishing, the victim is asked to disclose personal data or card information. With these data, fraudsters can easily steal money.

Test how safe you are online and take part in the big competition until 14 October 2023. With a bit of luck, you could win an online shopping voucher worth 1000 Swiss francs.
