🛑 Watch Out: Fake SBB Websites (stealing your card details)

It had to happen, right?

They are faking our emails and our bank websites, and amazing, but we (in Switzerland) all thought SBB was safe as houses until now!

What Are The Criminals Doing on SBB

Criminals have built fake SBB ticket sites that look almost identical to the real thing.

  • Same layout
  • same schedules
  • same everything

👉👉 The only difference is the web address, and even that’s just a letter or two off.

🛑 BE VERY VIGILANT 🛑

Especially if you click on links. SBB is sbb.ch or sbb.ch/en (and of course things after the base URL/address)

BUT nothing else.

Want To Save This For Later?

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

SBB’s advice:

  • Don’t click links from emails, texts, or random websites.
  • Type sbb.ch into your browser yourself, or use the official app.

How They Steal Your Money

Once you are on the wrong website, it’s quite simple…

You pick your train, you go to pay, and the site asks for your card number, expiry date, security code, even your Twint details (Swiss VENMO).

Except you’re not paying SBB. You’re handing your payment info straight to a scammer.

The tell is usually the price. If a ticket looks too cheap to be real, stop and check the URL.

Cybercrimepolice.ch is already tracking cases. If something looks off, it probably is.
