Dear Clients,
Following your and other cases and trends, it is evident that cybercrime is on the rise in Europe and the world in general. There are many fake business offers on the internet.
If you have decided to invest your money in projects offered online, please pay special attention to the following:
Here are some tips to assess the authenticity of a website:
- Check the URL: First, carefully check the website’s URL (web address). Sometimes fake websites use similar addresses to appear authentic but may contain minor differences, such as spelling errors, additional numbers, or characters. Genuine websites typically have a secure HTTPS protocol and a clear and understandable web address.
- Analyze the website’s appearance: Pay attention to the appearance of the website. Fake websites often look less professional than genuine ones. Watch out for poorly designed or inconsistent elements, bad translations, low-quality images, and similar signs.
- Verify contact information: Authentic websites usually have clearly displayed contact information, including an address, phone number, and email. If a website lacks this information or makes it hard to find, be suspicious.
- Scrutinize content and information: Read the website’s content carefully, especially if it contains information that seems overly sensational or unrealistic. Fake websites often use sensational headlines to attract attention.
- Check the privacy policy and terms of use: Genuine websites typically have clearly stated terms of use and privacy policies. Read these documents to understand how the website handles your personal data.
- Search engine information: Use search engine tools to verify the authenticity of the website. For example, Google may label websites as “Not Secure” if there are doubts about their authenticity.
- Check reputation: Search for online reviews and comments about the website. User experiences and feedback from other users can help you better understand the authenticity of the website.
- Be cautious with emails and links: If you arrived at the website through an email or link sent to you, be especially cautious. Phishing emails often contain fake links that lead to fake websites.
In any case, we are here to answer any questions you may have. You can send them through the “Contact Us” form on our website.
Regarding the EGCM case, there have been no significant events to report in the past week.

Poštovani Klijenti,
Prateći Vaš slučaj i ostale slučajeve jasno je da je na teritoriji EU i uopšte u svetu cyber criminal u velikom porastu. Poslovne ponude preko lažnih sajtova naročito su u dominantne.
Ukoliko ste se odlučili za ulaganja Vaših srestava u projekte koje se nude preko neta molimo Vas obratite posebnu pažnju na sledeće:
Evo nekoliko saveta za procenu autentičnosti sajta:
- Proverite URL: Prvo, pažljivo proverite URL (web adresu) sajta. Pripazite na slovne greške, dodatne brojeve ili znakove koji mogu ukazivati na lažni sajt.
- Analizirajte izgled sajta: Obratite pažnju na profesionalnost izgleda sajta. Loše dizajnirani elementi, loš prevod i loše kvalitetne slike mogu ukazivati na lažni sajt.
- Proverite kontakt informacije: Tražite jasno istaknute kontakt informacije, uključujući adresu, telefon i e-mail. Nedostatak ovih informacija ili njihova teška dostupnost mogu biti znaci lažnog sajta.
- Ispitajte sadržaj i informacije: Pažljivo pročitajte sadržaj sajta. Budite sumnjičavi ako se informacije čine senzacionalističkim ili nerealnim.
- Proverite odeljak za privatnost i uslove korišćenja: Proučite uslove korišćenja i politiku privatnosti kako biste bolje razumeli kako se sajt odnosi prema vašim ličnim podacima.
- Pretraživačke informacije: Koristite pretraživačke alatke za proveru autentičnosti sajta, kao što je Google, koji može označiti nesigurne sajtove.
- Proverite reputaciju: Tražite online recenzije i komentare o sajtu kako biste bolje razumeli šta drugi korisnici kažu o njemu.
- Budite oprezni s e-poštom i linkovima: Ako ste stigli na sajt putem e-pošte ili linka koji vam je poslat, budite posebno oprezni, jer phishing e-poruke često sadrže lažne linkove.
Uvek budite pažljivi prilikom ulaganja sredstava i istražite sajtove temeljno kako biste se zaštitili od potencijalnih prevara.
