Fraudehelpdesk

The Fraudehelpdesk is a Dutch service where people can report online fraud and get free advice if they think they have been targeted or have fallen victim. It handles scams such as fake messages, phishing and account takeovers, and it passes reports on to the relevant authorities. It matters here because it is the main point of contact that Dutch residents are pointed to when they receive a suspicious WhatsApp, SMS or email message.
