A new fraudulent email claims recipients are entitled to a tax refund after reviewing their "tax data for 2024." The email suggests the refund will be processed automatically but offers an option to edit payment details via a provided link. The Financial administration warns all taxpyaers and business to not reply to the email or click on any links because the Financial Administration does not communicate tax refunds in this manner.
The Financial Administration emphasizes that these fraudulent practices aim to steal money from unsuspecting citizens. They recommend ignoring such emails and contacting the police if necessary.
Fraudsters may also use SMS to send deceptive messages. The Financial Administration advises caution and urges people not to trust these messages. For assistance or to report suspicious activity, contact the Financial Administration's call center at 048/4317 222.
