Algérie Poste has issued a warning to its clients amid growing concerns over phishing attempts designed to steal sensitive personal information.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the postal service said it had identified a series of fraudulent SMS messages containing links that imitate its official website.
“These fake messages are designed to trick users into providing confidential information, including account numbers and passwords,” the company said. “We urge our clients to remain vigilant and cautious when interacting with any suspicious messages or links.”
Algérie Poste emphasised the importance of using official channels to access its services.
The company reminded customers of the verified links to its official social media pages and certified applications to prevent falling victim to these scams.
In its advisory, the postal service warned against clicking on suspicious links received via SMS or email.
Clients are advised never to enter personal data without first confirming the authenticity and security of the website or application.
Failure to do so could result in the theft of confidential information and potential financial loss.
The statement reflects ongoing concerns over cybercrime in Algeria, where phishing and other digital scams have become increasingly sophisticated.
Authorities and private companies alike have urged the public to exercise caution online and to report any suspicious activity promptly.
Algérie Poste’s alert serves as a reminder that even well-established institutions can be impersonated by cybercriminals.
By educating users about secure digital practices and providing clear guidance on official platforms, the company aims to reduce the risk of fraud and protect the personal data of its clients.
Customers are encouraged to verify any communications claiming to be from Algérie Poste and to rely exclusively on official channels for financial and postal transactions.
