On Monday, the police in Tallinn alone registered 25 reports of telephone and internet fraud, four of which resulted in financial losses totaling approximately 28,653 euros.
Most of the fraudulent schemes were related to phishing links sent on behalf of LHV (an Estonian bank) or Maxima. There were also several reports of calls from alleged couriers and on behalf of Tele2, Telia, or Elisa.
In particular, the police reported that a resident of Estonia received an email supposedly from LHV, asking her to update her personal information.
The victim clicked on the link contained in the email to her online bank and entered her details. Immediately after that, 602 euros were withdrawn from her account.
