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 51: Alleged Christmas miracle – When fraudsters recover your lost funds

23.12.2025 - Christmas is considered a time of hope and reflection, and this is precisely what fraudsters who pose as alleged helpers are counting on. They tell victims who have lost money through online investment fraud, for example, the good news that these lost funds have 'reappeared'. But the miracle never happens. Instead of a refund, victims are presented with bills, and are pressured to pay various 'service fees' until it becomes clear that the promised refund will never materialise. This is how the promised Christmas miracle turns out to be fraud.

Week 50: Recall with financial consequences

16.12.2025 - Last week, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) received an increasing number of reports about a scam that has been observed for some time. In this case, the victim is not pressured to click on a link, as is usually the case. Instead, under the pretext of an alleged suspicious transaction, they are asked to call back a telephone number. However, anyone who dials the number will not be connected to customer service, but directly to the fraudsters' call centre.
