Useful advice to avoid becoming a victim:

• If possible, we always pay for the ordered item by cash on delivery.
• If they buy from you, be suspicious if they ask for any other information besides your bank account number!
• Don’t be fooled by the fact that the person intending to buy is sending a link to a mail order service! They certainly won’t ask for your personal bank details there!
• If you receive a redirect link in a message, check that it is not a fake page! Better to exit and contact your bank through the usual channel!
• Never give out your bank card data, three-digit security CVC code, PIN code, or online banking access data to strangers, either by phone, e-mail, or message!
• Never install or download a program of unknown origin to your computer or phone, no matter who recommends it!
• When paying by bank card online, do not enter your data on another site (e.g. merchant’s site)!
• Do not start online banking transactions by clicking on links from unreliable sources or on unknown websites!
