- The city of Marbach warned in a press release about the current wave, whose senders allegedly claim to represent the DRV.
- The DRV says it requests personal or payment data only in writing by post or through Mein Kundenportal and makes phone calls only in exceptional cases.
- Those affected should therefore not click links in such emails or text messages.
- The Ludwigsburg district office recently also warned about callers posing as employees of care-support centers to obtain data or persuade people to accept paid services.
This is always done in writing — by post or via 'My Customer Portal' of the Deutsche Rentenversicherung.— Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV) warns that personal data is never requested by phone, email, or SMS; such requests are made only in writing, e.g., by post or via the customer portal.
