Criminals send fake emails in the name of DKB that appear authentic at first glance in order to lure unsuspecting customers into a trap. This tactic poses a serious threat to the security of customers' personal and financial information.
The DKB scam in detail
The scam is clever: customers receive an email that supposedly comes from the DKB. It claims that a new message has arrived in the customer's personal mailbox. To view this, the recipient is asked to follow a link.
However, this link does not lead to the official DKB website, but to a page controlled by criminals. Customers should enter their personal data there.
Dangers of phishing
The scammers' goal is to gain unrestricted access to their victims' bank accounts. Customers who enter their details on the fake site are putting themselves at high risk. The fraudsters can use this data to carry out transactions or carry out other criminal activities.

DKB customers should be vigilant and check suspicious emails critically. The bank asks its customers not to click on links in unsolicited emails and not to disclose sensitive information. Suspicious messages should be marked as spam and deleted immediately.
