Frauds using the ACS brand
Dear customers,
Recently, there has been an escalation of fraudulent attempts by both our customers and buyers / consumers in general, through "Phishing" e-mails, which appear coming from ACS, even using our company logo, with the aim of data interception and / or fraud.
Phishing messages
Fishing messages work like this:
- they can be very similar to the messages that ACS sends to its customers.
- they copy the logo, features and style of the actual emails.
- they make use of terminology that gives the sense of urgency.
- you are asked to download an attachment to your device or click on a link.
Caution
- The official communication of ACS is always sent from e-mail addresses ending in @acscyprus.com + @acscourier.gr
- We never use providers like @gmail, @yahoo or other free email services to send e-mails.
Fraudulent SMS messages (Smishing)
SMS scams work as follows:
You are usually asked to click on an online link or call a phone number to verify, update or reactivate an account.
Caution
The official communication of ACS via SMS is from the sender "ACS" or from the Viber channel "ACS Courier".
