You can recognize a fake website by its domain address campaign-blik.online. Be careful when using BLIK it is also worth checking each time whether the amount displayed in the browser matches the amount in our banking application. If anything raises our doubts, we should stop the transaction as soon as possible and it is best to report the suspicious website to CERT.PL. In this way, we have a chance to save not only our money, but also other Internet users.
