At the moment, we have received more than 3000 reports of people receiving a fraudulent message from Belfius Bank. The method used by the scammers is to claim that a new card reader will be available from 13 March 2023 and that the old one will be deactivated. They then ask you to apply for a free card reader. Do not do this.
