#WebSecurity #OnlineFraud

I think I just nearly escaped a fraudulent website, thanks to my bank’s authorization step for a payment in Hong Kong Dollars.

I would have lost €95 euros from the online sale via a probably fake Dr Scholl France website.

Fraudsters would be dumb not to go for it because Dr Scholl apparently has several different websites and the confusion is already high.

Is there a place to report those fake sites?
