Cybercriminals repeatedly send fake emails in the name of large companies such as “amazon.de” or “ING DiBa” in order to obtain private user data. These fake emails usually look almost perfect. But not in this case, where they made a serious mistake.
These errors in turn make it easier for a recipient to recognize fake emails if they first pretend to be AMAZONE.DE and then say goodbye at the end with “With kind regards, your ING DiBa team”. 
From this email you can see that internet fraudsters try the same scam again and again and have already prepared various “templates”.
First they pose as the “ING DiBa Team” and try to use this scam (phishing scam) to get the user data of ING DiBa customers.
As a result, they use the same email template and then pretend to be “Amazon.de” in order to get user data from “Amazon” customers.
But this time they forgot to change the alleged “ING DiBa team” to the “Amazon team”.
Which can be lucky for the recipient, because as the recipient you may immediately recognize that something is NOT right!
General phishing warning:
- Phishing emails generally try to appear as if they come from the relevant company . Fraudsters use these to try to get personal data, preferably bank credit cards or other payment data.
- Protection software is helpful! With updated databases and appropriate heuristics, malicious sites are often blocked. We use Kaspersky protection software .
- The real “art” of these emails is the story with which the recipient is supposed to trust the email and open the inserted link. Expression, grammar and spelling, as well as plausibility and individuality play a very important role here. Especially in the recent past, there have been an increasing number of emails that shined with individuality: they could address the recipient with the correct name and also provide actual address and personal data.
- However, you can generally note: Banks, payment and purchase portals never ask you to log in to the account using a built-in link! In addition, although a generic salutation is always an indication of phishing, an existing correct salutation is not proof of the authenticity of an email .
- Tip on your smartphone: press and hold a link until a dialog window opens with the link preview. This shows where an embedded link should lead.
- Never log in via a link that is sent by email, but always type the relevant page by hand into the address bar of your browser and log in there. If there are actually announcements of the relevant service, they will be displayed there. In addition, if possible, you should also refrain from carrying out banking transactions via public/third-party WiFi networks , as you never know exactly whether (and in an emergency from whom) these networks are being used be logged.
- Never enter real data in the form fields! Under certain circumstances, the data can even while typing without having to confirm with “continue”.
