Beware of phishing message that seems to come from Cardstop

In recent days and hours, we have received many reports of a message that seems to come from Cardstop. The message asks you to urgently click on a link. That in itself is suspicious.  The link in question takes you to a fake website where your details are requested. Moreover, the message is not written in a professional way at all and it contains a notable spelling error.

If you receive such a message, forward it to suspicious@safeonweb.be and delete it.

Don't fall into the trap!
