Allegro users targeted by cybercriminals - phishing campaign

Lost24

The email boxes of Internet users receive messages about the possibility of blocking their allegro.pl accounts. The reason for such blocking is to be an unpaid payment.


The email also includes information on the amount with which the person is in arrears and the threat of recovery if the amount is not paid.


Original message content:
“To date, we have not recorded the settlement of your commitment. A deposit of 1.98 must be paid to prevent account suspension. If the payment is not settled - your debt will be taken over by debt collection.”


Cybercriminals have spoofed the original address of the service, which may diminish the vigilance of the victim. However, please note that there are grammatical errors in the message. In addition, the payment URL is suspicious. Keep in mind that these types of phishing campaigns usually lead to the stolen login credentials for online banking.
