As the transition from iDEAL to Wero progresses, fraud attempts targeting users and businesses have been reported.
According to the Dutch Banking Association, criminals are exploiting the introduction of Wero by impersonating financial institutions and service providers. These attempts are designed to mislead users into sharing sensitive information or authorising fraudulent transactions.
The reported cases include phishing messages and fake communications related to onboarding or payment processes linked to Wero.
This development highlights the importance of remaining vigilant during periods of change in payment infrastructures.
