The fraudsters have decided to once again utilize the coronavirus situation, this time using the known “courier” scam.


During the pandemic, the number of purchases over the internet increased significantly, which the fraudsters decided to utilize by sending an SMS asking for payment of the shipping charges.


According to the portal Wirtualna Polska, in the message we can read that due to OHS procedures in the transhipment center, the shipping cost increased by about PLN 2. The SMS also includes a link that redirects users to the fake payment page. The goal is probably obvious to everyone at this point, fraudsters want to intercept online banking credentials.
