  • Just got scammed: what if we build a phishing alert?

I just paid €2 to all4tech, they sent a phishing mail by DHL. DHL needed a €2 upgrade to get a package delivered.
It would be awesome if they can be added to a Blocklist of some kind, so other bunqers don't fall for the same trap.

Proposal: when you are about to pay for it, you would get an alert saying it's connected to phishing. You could still pay, but you would get another step protecting you with an alert. A simple, extra barrière basically.

    @Maurice-Turquoise-Swan#250135 Payer 2 euro pour DHL, alors que l'on a rien commandé. Cela devrait déjà être une alerte.

      @Maurice-Turquoise-Swan#250135 Hey 👋
      unfortunately these phishing attempts are like weeds. They grow faster than you can block them and the criminals are full of ideas how to create new and even „better“ attempts to scam other people.
      So every blocklist you would create is possibly outdated right from the beginning. Please keep in mind, that the best way to avoid any phishing is that you never share private or login information with instances you don’t trust. And don’t pay anything, if you’re unsure if it’s legitimate.
