In connection with the new wave of benefits planned by the government the fraudsters decided to use the excuse and execute attacks utilizing so-called anti-crisis shield.

Niebiezpiecznik portal warns against a scam in which scammers try to rob victims of their savings accumulated on a bank account.

Fraudsters send SMS messages that read as follows:
"Sender: Shield You can collect PLN 800 from the anti-crisis shield. To pick up, make a identity confirmation transfer of PLN 1. You will receive the funds within 24 hours. www.urzedy9 [.] net / XXXX ”.

Clicking on the link leads to a fraudulent page with PayU payment gateway. If the login and password are provided, the victim is asked to enter SMS codes, which will allow fraudsters to steal funds from a bank account.
