Hrmpf, fell for a phishing for the first time :(

Got an email from Hermes (a delivery company) that I have a package stopped at the customs office and that I gotta pay 3€.
I am actually expecting a package from a foreign country that is likely to be stopped at the customs >__< Stupid coincidence because it was a phishing and now they got my credit card and attempted to misuse it. In retrospect I should've looked at the sender mail better, it was "jobs.ac.kr", lol.

Luckily my bank has automatically blocked this (blessed that we are not in a world where we use only unprotected crypto and co after all, lol). Thiiink I am not loosing money (well, besides the 3€), though there is still one transaction of 100€ on "pending" for some reason. Hopefully blocking the card prevents that one too.
So I have to wait up to two weeks for a new card now but it's good if that keeps me from commissioning in that time, haha :)

The attempted malicious orders were twice at Hugo Boss and twice at GoG btw xD

So yee, careful out there. One more thing on the list of thousand ways phishers try to scam q_q

A lesson learned, at least. Stay safe.

You will probably get your 3 euros back too.
