It's a computer crime that features the attempt to fraudulently acquire confidential information, such as the password to your bank accounts or detailed information on your credit cards.
The most common forms of phishing are over the phone, via email, or social media. By impersonating a well-known bank, company, or institution to maliciously obtain your personal data or banking information.
Cybercriminals use any pretext to get the user to update their information through links that mimic the website of the bank or a well-known company.
A common phishing scam involves impersonating courier companies through fake emails or messages. The message informs the user that a package delivery attempt was unsuccessful and requests scheduling a new delivery date. In some cases, they also mention the need to pay customs fees.

Many users are falling for a scam spreading via WhatsApp. They receive a message from an unknown number, asking for money under some pretext. To persuade victims to make transfers or payments, scammers impersonate their family members, claiming they’ve changed their number due to issues with their previous line, such as having dropped it, lost their wallet, or broken their phone, etc.

Watch out for this new fraud trick that is circulating! This type of scam is very common in buying and selling transactions on second-hand product apps. Scammers pose as interested buyers of what you are selling and tell you they want to pay using the Bizum app. But instead of sending you the payment, they send you a request to pay them. If you fall for it and accept, you will end up paying the supposed buyer instead of receiving the money.

Investment scams offer opportunities that promise high returns with a very low initial investment and no risk. They come from contacts the scammers find through social media, email, online ads, or even WhatsApp.
They purport to provide personalised advice for free. If something seems too good to be true, be wary!
