Niebezpiecznik warns of malicious ads that impersonate the Millenium Bank. Ads are displayed on Facebook and inform users that the bank offers money to anyone with a valid account. The amounts offered are within a range of a few hundred PLN, such as 700 or 900.

This is an textbook example of a phishing attempt, after activating the link a website is displayed, where the victim is informed about the amount to be transferred. For this purpose, the victim must provide, for example, PESEL identification number or one time passcode, which will be sent in a text message.

Extortion of money or data through such means is nothing new, but this type of fraud is still a very big threat to less aware users.
