We have received several reports of a suspicious message circulating. The message appears to be from My e-box and invites you to buy a COVID-19 vaccine. If you click on the button, your bank details will be requested. Under no circumstances give out your personal details or codes. Please forward the message to suspicious@safeonweb.be and then delete it.
If you receive a message that appears to be from My e-box, please use a browser to go to https://myebox.be, and log in using the 'OPEN MY E-BOX' button.
There is also an equally convincing version circulating that seems to come from the Care and Health Agency (Agentschap Zorg en Gezondheid) of the Flemish government. You will receive the real invitation in person. If you have the slightest doubt, you can apply via the website www.burgerprofiel.be. If you are invited, you can find the invitation there.
