SMS scams/ State Police appeals: Do not enter your banking details on suspicious

The Cybercrime Investigation Directorate of the State Police has identified new fraud campaigns through SMS messages (smishing), which are being sent to citizens by falsely using the names of Albanian public institutions and services.

According to the Cybercrime Investigation Directorate, these campaigns follow previously identified cases, where the perpetrators, falsely presenting themselves as banking institutions, have attempted to deceive citizens through fake websites, with the aim of acquiring their personal and banking data.

Recent monitoring has identified messages appearing on behalf of:

* Tirana Municipality / Parking Service, claiming the existence of unpaid parking fees;

* DPSHTRR, notifying of road traffic violations and unpaid fines;

* Albanian Post, claiming that citizens must update their address to enable the delivery of postal packages.

In these cases, the messages contain electronic links, which direct citizens to fake websites that imitate the official websites of the relevant institutions.

"The aim of these campaigns is to deceive citizens into providing their personal and banking data, including bank card number, expiration date, security code (CVV/CVC) and verification codes, which can be used to carry out unauthorized transactions and embezzle money from bank accounts."

The perpetrators use notifications about unpaid bills, short deadlines, or problems with postal deliveries, creating a sense of urgency to encourage citizens to act without verifying the authenticity of the messages.

The State Police calls on citizens:

* Do not click on suspicious links sent via SMS, regardless of the institution on whose behalf they appear.

* Do not enter bank card details, CVV/CVC codes or verification codes on pages opened through these messages.

"* Verify any notice of fine payment," the police advise.
