How to keep yourself secure?
Scams typically seek to lure you into paying money on the basis that you have an outstanding debt. This activity is a common and recognized fraud.
Stay alert when someone you do not know contacts you – no matter who they claim to be. Often fraudsters will claim they are from BELGAN, or they will claim to be a third party appointed to represent BELGAN, then trick you into transferring money to a fake account.
If someone calls asking for your personal details and you do not believe it is from BELGAN, end the call. Then call BELGAN back at: +32 55 33 22 11. Watch out also for social engineering via e-mails, such as phishing. Phishing is a common scam involving emails and fake websites that try to trick people into disclosing sensitive information.
