Got this fake Bitpanda SMS yesterday urging to call an unknown number.
Habe gestern diese seltsame Fake-SMS von Bitpanda bekommen.
Ich hätte mich in Beijing in China mittels einer Ledger Live API eingeloggt und solle eine Telefonnummer anrufen, wenn ich das nicht war.
Das mit der Ledger Live API ist mir bereits komisch vorgekommen. Das ist natürlich Bs.
Dachte, dass das SMS nicht echt sein kann. Eine kurze Recherche im Internet zu "Bitpanda SMS" und zur Telefonnummer bestätigte dann meinen Verdacht.
Nachrichtenseiten haben bereits vor diesen vermeintlichen SMS von Bitpanda gewarnt. Ist ein Phishing-Angriff.
Was ebenfalls seltsam ist, dass in der Samsung Messages App und in den Nachrichten-Details als Absender "Bitpanda" angezeigt wird, aber nicht die Telefonnummer, von der das SMS gesendet wurde.
Denke, dass das auch eine Schwachstelle (Spoofing Angriff) von der Samsung App unter Android ist.
Was sagt ihr dazu? Habt ihr schon mal auch ähnliche Fake-SMS von Kryptobörsen oder Banken erhalten, dass ihr euch irgendwo eingeloggt habt und sofort eine Nummer anrufen sollt?

Yesterday, I received this strange fake text message from Bitpanda.
It said that I had logged in via a Ledger Live API in Beijing, China, and that I should call a phone number if it wasn't me.
The Ledger Live API part already seemed strange to me. That's obviously bs.
I thought the text message couldn't be real. A quick internet search for “Bitpanda SMS” and the phone number confirmed my suspicion.
News sites had already warned about these supposed text messages from Bitpanda. It's a phishing attack.
What's also strange is that the Samsung Messages app and the message details show “Bitpanda” as the sender, but not the phone number from which the SMS was sent.
I think this is also a vulnerability (spoofing attack) of the Samsung app on Android.
What do you think? Have you ever received similar fake SMS messages from crypto exchanges or banks telling you that you have logged in somewhere and should call a number immediately?
Haben die deine Nummer aus einem Bitpanda Hack? F+ck those pishers and scammers ;-)
Hab gerade nachgesehen. Ja, diese SMS hatte ich auch vor einigen Tagen erhalten. Nachdem bei mir aber auf Bitpanda nix ist, war es einfach den Betrug zu erkennen.
Ja so Zeug bekommt man immer wieder. Teilweise geht es um Pakete die angeblich im Zoll hängen oder auch gerne Nutzerdaten die irgendwo nochmal „verifiziert“ werden sollen.
Was mich auch gewundert hat ist, wie sie als Absender der SMS einfach "Bitpanda" anstatt der Telefonnummer angeben können. Da dürfte es noch eine Sicherheitslücke bei SMS oder Android App geben.
Tons of that even about your bank account, a quick check on number and you are good to go

It's always good to check the number before calling in such cases. Only contact your bank by their official number or your adviser directly if in doubt.
Often they send also a fake link, you can spot that too
It's becoming more common nowadays. Sometimes, it's through email, asking you to do confirm something urgent before you lose xyz.
This happens to me continuously. Before I had conversations to laugh a little about the scammer and make him waste his time but since the AI does not exist to avoid being recorded by my voice.
It's repetitive. Ugh!
So ein Mist
Danke für die Info

Stay cautious
I pretty happy that scammer stopped calling me. SMSes are evil so I the best thing is to ignore them :D
Definitely phishing texts, they try to scare people into calling or clicking, for me the best rule is never trust SMS alerts like that. I always go through the official site or app directly
One must be super careful of these scams that is going on
Scammers are getting smarter with these fake messages. Good thing you noticed it was a scam. Always better to double-check before clicking or calling. Thanks for sharing this warning!

I've received that type of message a number of times but, I always know they're the work of scammers so, I simply ignore them.
I have gotten these messages before, but I just ignore them. I don't trust any links or numbers they give.
