The Computer Security Incident Response Team of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF CSIRT) warns against false investments. Fraudsters pretend to be PKN Orlen. Scammers tempt with promises of fast and high earnings, without any risk.

For this purpose, a fraudulent website and a Facebook profile have been created, where an attempt is made to trick users into fake investments in gas and oil trading. There is a “calculator” on the website, which displays the amount of investment we are able to earn.

In order to start the “investment”, you need to register by filling out the application form by providing your personal data, email address and phone number. In the next step, you must confirm the registration by talking to the “financial advisor”. In the final stage, the appropriate amount of the investment should be paid into a dedicated account. According to the information on the website, we will receive the first profits in the evening on the same day.
