What counts as a scam and fraud warnings

Scam warnings describe active fraud campaigns: phishing messages, fake shops, investment and crypto fraud, romance scams and fake authority calls. Consumer protection agencies and police publish the current patterns, and the practical defence is the same everywhere: verify through an official channel you looked up yourself, never through the link or number you were given.

If a warning is active

Hang up and call back on the official number you look up yourself.
Never transfer money or share codes under time pressure.
Report the attempt to the national consumer or cybercrime authority.
