In the current scam, the method used by the scammers is to use the identity of Belfius to lure you. The scammers claim that a new bank card reader has been available since 1 December. They then ask you to apply for it free of charge. Don't do this.
When you want to check your bank messages, it is always best to go directly to your personal space via your app and/or the bank's official website.
Do not click on the links, as you will be directed to a fake site. Forward this message to suspicious@safeonweb.be and delete it permanently.
