Calls on behalf of a supposed NCSC employee
The NCSC has received reports of cases in which someone claiming to be an employee of the National Cyber Security Centre calls and asks to verify a supposedly suspicious bank transaction. The NCSC does not verify bank transactions and does not contact citizens unsolicited by telephone. Hang up immediately if you receive such a call and do not respond to any requests made by the fraudsters.

Week 1: E-vignette - Watch out for phishing and misleading offers

06.01.2026 - The expiry date of the current motorway sticker ("vignette") - 31 January - is fast approaching.
