Phishing emails in the name of health insurance companies

Fake e-mails are currently circulating ostensibly from health insurance companies supposedly promising a refund.

28.10.2025 –

This is how the scam works:

The criminals lure you into visiting a fake website where you have to fill in a supposed "refund form" and enter your card details.
If the scam is successful, the credit or debit card is debited immediately.
In order to bypass two-factor authentication, the fraudsters then try to intercept the security code from the financial institution sent by text message.

You can protect yourself like this:

Always be critical of links
Do not pass on sensitive data and security codes
If data has been passed on: Block the card immediately and report it to the police
