Reporting fraud

Phishing

Have you received a text message or an email from DUO that you do not trust? DUO never sends text messages or sends emails from platforms such as Gmail, Outlook or Hotmail.

DUO also does not include a link to the login page in the emails. You always need to log in from our homepage with your own Digid or European login. This way we can optimally protect your personal data.

DUO will send an email if you change your email address in My DUO. You will then receive a confirmation on your old and new email address.

You can submit suspicious emails to meldingfraude@duo.nl. Please state your birth name and date of birth in your email.
