Fake auctions, electronics for next to nothing. Warning from CERT Poland.

Fraudsters advertise themselves on regional Facebook groups like “Ads Warsaw”, tempting people with sales of electronics at very attractive prices, such as iPhone 7 for PLN 13.


CERT Poland warns against fraudulent electronics on websites posing for Allegro Lokalnie. The equipment put up for auction is listed at very attractive prices. After clicking the “Buy now” button, the victim is redirected to a fake electronic banking panel. Cybercriminals obtain such data as PESEL identification number or mother’s maiden name.


According to the CERT, the target of the attack are owners of accounts in Millenium, mBank, Pekao, PKO and ING banks.
