Fraudsters are currently advertising alleged bargains now available due to the new US tariffs.
07.10.2025 –The fraudsters state, for example, that you can buy a high-quality rucksack for just 2 francs at a sports goods shop because the shop is overstocked. All you have to do is fill out a short "survey". Sounds too good to be true? It is.
Therefore be careful! The link leads to a fake page. Anyone who fills in the "survey" is falling into a phishing trap. The fraudsters steal personal data - and, in the worst case, your money, too.
So don't forget:
- Always take a very hard look at the message content and the sender!
- Do not disclose any personal details or login data.
- If in doubt, contact the company concerned directly.
