Amsterdam, vrijdag, 20 februari 2026.
Een nepwebsite misleidt slachtoffers van het Odido-datalek met de belofte van een schadevergoeding tot 1.500 euro. Vooraf moet 49,99 euro worden betaald. De site is niet betrouwbaar. Er is geen KvK-nummer en geen heldere aanspreekpartner. Odido en de Consumentenbond waarschuwen voor oplichting. Mensen lopen zowel financieel als privacyrisico. De site suggereert dat bel- en internetgegevens zijn gelekt, maar dat ontkent Odido. Klaas Jan Lageschaar noemt de informatie op de site onjuist. Echte claims kosten niets van tevoren. Slachtoffers worden geadviseerd alleen officiële kanalen te vertrouwen.

scammers exploit odido data breach with fake claims site

A fraudulent website, odidoschadevergoeding.nl, is exploiting victims of the recent Odido data breach by offering false damage claims worth up to €1,500 [1]. Victims are asked to pay €49.99 upfront, or €24.99 with a so-called group discount for five people [2]. This fee gives access to a form promising compensation within six months [3]. However, the site lacks basic legitimacy markers such as a Chamber of Commerce (KvK) registration and provides no transparent terms or partner law firms [4]. Experts warn that legitimate claim platforms never charge fees in advance [5].

misinformation fuels fear and financial risk

The fake site spreads deliberate falsehoods to increase urgency among users [6]. It falsely states that call logs and internet usage histories were leaked, which Odido explicitly denies [7]. The company confirms that names, addresses, bank account details, passport numbers, and other identity documents were compromised but emphasizes that communication metadata was not accessed [8]. By exaggerating the scope of the breach, scammers manipulate emotional distress for profit [9]. Users who engage risk both monetary loss and further exposure of personal data to criminals [10].

authorities and experts issue urgent warnings

Both Odido and consumer protection organizations have issued alerts about the scam [11]. “The information given on this website is incorrect,” said Klaas Jan Lageschaar, spokesperson for Odido [12]. Mirjam de Witte of the Consumentenbond stressed that real legal services do not precharge standard processing costs [13]. She added that it is far too early to file claims anyway, as investigations remain ongoing [14]. The Fraudehelpdesk warns that fraudsters routinely exploit public incidents like this to deceive vulnerable individuals [15].

how to protect against exploitation after data leaks

Victims should rely solely on official channels for updates and support [16]. Genuine collective legal actions in the Netherlands do not require upfront payments [17]. Any claim service demanding money before filing is highly suspect [18]. Authorities recommend verifying unfamiliar sites through government tools like the police party checker: https://www.politie.nl/aangifte-of-melding-doen/controleer-handelspartij.html [19]. For those fearing identity theft, reporting to the Central Reporting Point for Identity Fraud (CMI) is advised [20].
