The Judicial Police issued an alert about a new scam that is circulating through fraudulent electronic messages. The scammers send communications informing victims that they have a "2025 refund approved" by the Tax Authority.
The scheme uses the promise of receiving a large sum of money to capture the attention and trust of the victims. The main objective is to convince recipients to provide personal data and authentication information.
Authorities are warning the population not to click on suspicious links or share confidential information via email or messages. The PJ recommends that any communication regarding tax refunds always be verified directly through the official channels of the Tax and Customs Authority.
This scam falls within a growing trend of phishing schemes that exploit taxpayers' expectations regarding tax refunds. Authorities continue to monitor these fraudulent activities and raise awareness among citizens about the risks associated with this type of message.
