Through this Social Engineering technique, scammers pretend to be the Tax Agency and trick the victim into believing that it has not been possible to refund them a €200 financial aid offered by the Government.
The goal of the scammers is to obtain personal and banking information from the victims through a form that simulates being from the Tax Agency. What actually happens is that the data is sent to the criminals' systems.
The website that includes the SMS, also asks for personal information and the phone number so that, upon completing the process, the victim receives a “confirmation message” making the scam seem more believable.
As always, we recommend, nunca debemos interaccionar con este tipo de mensajes y nunca acceder a los adjuntos o enlaces que pueda incluir. También es conveniente avisar a nuestra entidad bancaria y bloquear los movimientos sospechosos.
