According to them, the aim of the messages is to obtain data from the credit card under the pretext of payment of the shipping costs for the policyholder card. Health insurance companies emphasize that they do not require any payment of shipping costs for the delivery of the policyholder’s license. They recommend policyholders to ignore the suspicious SMS. TASR informed representatives of insurance companies.
ZP explained that fraudulent SMS messages contain a link to the website www.obnovit-poistenca.com. They warn policyholders not to open the message and ignore fraudulent messages. “If you receive an SMS message asking you to provide personal or financial data, ignore it and do not click on any links. We do not require any shipping costs for the delivery of the insured’s license,“said PR specialist of the Health Insurance Company Trust Matej Štepianský.
At present, the Union ZP does not register that clients would receive the reports themselves, but it cannot exclude it. “We recommend that our clients not click on any SMS messages with an external link. We never require our clients in this way to enter data from their credit cards. This is a scam, generally we do not recommend opening links other than the official website of our health insurance company, “explained Union spokeswoman Kristína Baluchová. She added that the Union ZP also does not require any policyholder charges for the insured card.
