Warning! A deceptive website is circulating that falsely appears to be the website of the Greek Police, attempting to steal banking and personal information
The Hellenic Police informs citizens that cunning individuals have created a deceptive website, which imitates the official website of the Hellenic Police and is used to deceive citizens and steal personal and banking information.
Specifically, the criminals have created a website with the address astynomiiia.cc, which visually resembles the official website of the Greek Police and urges users to enter information supposedly for the payment of a traffic fine.
This website does not belong to the Hellenic Police.
Citizens are invited to:
not to enter personal or banking information on the website in question,
not to make any payment through it,
always check that they are on the official website of the Hellenic Police before taking any action,
Be especially careful with links sent via SMS, email or messaging apps.
In the event that a citizen has already entered personal or banking information on this website, it is recommended that they contact their bank immediately to take measures to protect their accounts and cards and to inform the Greek Police.
It is recalled that the official website of the Hellenic Police is exclusively www.astynomia.gr and citizens must always verify the website address before registering any information.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
