How can I identify phishing emails?

Phishing emails are fraudulent messages designed to steal personal information. You can identify these emails by the following characteristics:

  • Requests to enter or confirm card details
  • Usually contain a link to a fake website
  • The email and website appear deceptively genuine, often with minor differences in the web address
  • Sent randomly to many recipients

Tip:

  • Always check the web address (URL) carefully
  • Do not click on links in suspicious emails
  • Never disclose sensitive information

If in doubt: Forward suspicious emails to internetsecurity@viseca.ch and immediately block your card if you have lost data.
