Spring is in sight, people are starting to make holiday plans and are impatiently awaiting their holiday pay. Fraudsters have understood this well and are taking advantage of the opportunity to send fake text messages and e-mails that appear to come from the National Office for Annual Vacation (RJV-ONVA). You are asked to provide your bank details via a fake website. Never click on the links in a suspicious message and certainly do not enter any bank details.
How can you recognise that it is a fake message?
- The RJV never sends a text message and never asks you to use your DIGIPASS or bank card reader.
- The e-mail address is not that of the institution. The official e-mail address of the RJV ends at @onva-rjv.fgov.be.
- When you move your mouse over the link of the site (without clicking), another site appears (yellow box). There you can clearly see that this is not the RJV website.
What should you do if you receive such a message?
- Never click on the links! Go to the official website (www.rjv.fgov.be) yourself via your browser. Workers and non self-employed artists can check the information regarding their holiday allowance on www.mijnvakantierekening.be.
- Send the message or a print screen of the text message to suspicious@safeonweb.be to have the fraudulent site blocked quickly.
Did you click on the link and provide personal data?
- Contact your bank and/or Cardstop on 078 170 170.
- File a complaint with the local police station.
