Scammers attempt to obtain Smart-ID codes and other resident data

Scammers call and impersonate courier services or representatives of institutions, trying to extract the Smart-ID PIN1. If successful, they continue their attack by sending the victim a fake Smart-ID account report via email, which includes personal details such as name, surname, personal code, address, identification document data, and fabricated information about supposed loans taken out in the person's name, urging contact with the scammer. To increase credibility, the victim receives SMS messages purportedly from banks or financial institutions about potentially fraudulent activities on their account or loan applications. The attackers aim to intimidate the person into hurried actions, such as transferring money to the scammer’s account or sending cash for 'safe storage.' If you have concerns about your account security, do not click on links received via email or call the phone numbers included in emails or texts. Instead, contact your bank directly using the official phone number listed on their website. PIN1 is used for your identification, while PIN2 confirms actions such as signing documents or making payments.
