The attempts of fraudsters to trick citizens take the form of an avalanche, especially during the holidays. So this year’s Easter.
In recent years, along with telephone scams, “attacks” via the Internet have also gained ground. The revelation of the e-shop network based in China which is behind one of the biggest online scams in the world, defrauding thousands of people in Europe and USA is a shocking proof.

On this wavelength, internet users should be extra careful as scams also appear on Social Media. Yes, and in the form of “sponsored” ads on Facebook.
In particular, in the last few days, the – now well-known – advertisement for an allegedly annual card with unlimited journeys on the metro for just… 2 euros has appeared again.
Of course, there is no such offer.
After all, this is not the first time this has happened, as in the past OASA has issued a statement on this specific issue.
Her page is as follows:
However, Facebook’s response after reporting by documentonews.gr that this advertisement is misleading is also causing a sensation.
What he said; After the check, it was found that: “it does not violate the Advertising Terms”(!)
Last December, OASA issued the following announcement:
«OASA draws the attention of the traveling public to an attempt to deceive on Social Media with the illegal use of the Organization’s brand.
In the last few hours, a fake page with the OASA logo has appeared on social media, specifically on Facebook, urging unsuspecting citizens to apply in order to obtain a 12-month ATH.ENA card for two euros.
The OASA informs that this particular Facebook page has nothing to do with the Organization. It is an attempt to deceive the passenger public and an attempt to intercept personal information.
The Organization has already proceeded to inform the competent authorities”.
