Warning about phishing campaign on “WhatsApp” - State Police: Messages requesting to vote for the first prize of a free scholarship
The Cybercrime Investigation Directorate of the State Police warns citizens about the circulation of a fraudulent (phishing) campaign on the “WhatsApp” platform. These messages appear as a request to vote for the first prize of a free scholarship, in favor of a person close to the sender, who is suspected of having previously fallen prey to this fraud, subsequently spreading the message to his contacts.
The messages aim to take control of the account on the WhatsApp application, directing users to fake pages and urging them to enter verification codes, which are used by the perpetrators to take over the account.
The State Police calls on citizens not to click on suspicious links, even when the message is sent from known contacts; not to provide verification codes, passwords or personal data; to activate two-step verification in the "WhatsApp" application, and to report any suspicious cases to the State Police structures.
The State Police is monitoring the situation and invites citizens to show maximum caution towards messages offering votes, prizes or immediate benefits.
