Phishing scam through fake website rapidusertest.at – What should I do now?
Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, I fell for a phishing scam through a fake website called rapidusertest.at (which impersonated Userlutions). I submitted photos of my passport, health insurance card, signature, and registration certificate (Meldebescheinigung).
Here is what I have done so far:
- Informed my health insurance provider (Mawista).
- Cut off all contact. Their server/domain seems to have been shut down or is unreachable now, as my sent emails bounce back as undeliverable.
Since identity verification in Germany for contracts or bank accounts usually requires a live Video-Ident or PostIdent process, how high is the risk of identity theft using only photos of these documents? Is there anything else I should do to protect myself?
Thank you in advance for your help!
