Various fake invitations for corona vaccinations are circulating again. Often the messages seem to come from My eBox but that is not true. Be extra attentive if you receive an invitation you are not expecting.
You can recognize a real invitation for a corona vaccine like this:
- the email is from cov19-vaccin@doclr.be.
- the e-mail contains the contact details of the vaccination center.
- no payment is ever asked for: the vaccination and the vaccine are free.
- no personal information such as passwords, pin codes or account numbers are requested.
What to do if you are not sure?
- Go yourself via a browser to https://myebox.be. There you can safely log in to My eBox and check whether you have a new message.
- Suspicious messages that mimic a notification from My eBox do circulate frequently. These phishing emails are particularly convincing. Read the warning from My eBox.
- The only way to know for sure whether the message is real or fake is to go over the 'button' with your mouse, without clicking. At the bottom, you will see the URL of the website to which you are directed. In that URL you have to check the 'domain'. The domain is what is written just before '.be'. If this domain is Belgium (as in: https://mycitizenebox.belgium.be/myebox/?lang=nl), you will be directed to the real My e-Box website. If it says something else before .be, the domain is fake and you should not click on it.
Below you can see some examples of fake messages. You can also see that the url behind the button does not refer to vlaanderen.be or My eBox at all.
