Internet fraud
Police increase awareness on social media
Because scams on the internet or on the phone are on the increase, the police now want to raise awareness among the population and are launching a campaign on social networks.
Because more and more criminals are specializing in telephone and internet scams and the scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the police have decided to focus more on raising awareness. The new campaign is being launched today, with posts by the police on various social media platforms.
Every day, a specific fraud topic will be covered, including smishing, i.e. dangerous SMS scam messages, fake stores on the internet, order fraud on second-hand platforms, scams involving fake employees from large companies such as PayPal or Amazon, as well as phishing and data protection.
The specially prepared information is intended to reach as many people as possible so that criminals succeed in their evil tricks less and less often.
