Consumer Protection Warns of Phishing Scam Targeting Telekom Customers
Fake emails claiming to notify users of new voicemails are being used to steal personal data, with officials urging caution and vigilance.
- Phishing emails disguised as Telekom notifications claim users have new voicemails, directing them to malicious websites via embedded links.
- The emails often feature uncharacteristic elements like unpersonalized greetings, fake phone numbers, and a distinctive pink 'Click Here' button.
- Telekom clarifies that it does not notify customers of new voicemails via email, instead using SMS or its official Voicemail app.
- Recipients are advised to avoid clicking any links, move the emails to their spam folder, and contact Telekom directly if unsure of authenticity.
- Those who may have interacted with the phishing emails should check their devices for malware and report any financial losses to the police.
