Reports to the Revenue Agency of attempted scams are now commonplace. In the latest reported case, criminals exploit the confusion that still exists on the taxation of cryptocurrencies.
Also in this case, taxpayers who receive the communication are invited to do not click on the links And do not provide personal and banking data.
Here is the detailed content of the latest attempt phishing scam with tax request.
Requests imposed by the Revenue Agency, it is a scam
Be careful with emails with payment requests which appear to come from the Revenue Agency.
In the email that i cyber pirates are sending taxpayers at this time there is a significant detail which can, unfortunately, lead many people to fall into error, in fact theemail address from which the communication appears to come is very similar to those actually used by the Revenue Agency: [email protected]. This is naturally an element against the taxpayer who may actually think that the sender is the AdE.
Another characteristic that can be found in this particular type of messages that are circulating these days concerns the high amounts: the report reads “We are writing to you regarding the credit of 557,200.00 euros” continues “ we are forced (language not used by the Revenue Agency, which is more formal) the payment of taxes set by the Italian State. Must pay into state coffers (the lower case is another gross mistake to watch out for) 10% of the total”.
“We ask you the Prepayment of 80% of 55,720.00 euros (amount due corresponding to 10%). Requesting advance payment is mandatory (the correct version would be mandatory) when we talk about a Crypto withdrawal as they are easy to hide and do not fall within the banking circuit”. Even in this case the language is very non-formal.
The comunication it is not signed by an official.
The payment terms in the email are particularly short and this should also arouse suspicion. The sum is high, but there is no mention of it possibility of installment paymentsis not indicated to the taxpayer who can propose appeal. These notices must be present in the Agency’s communications.
