The Tax Agency (AEAT) has notified an attempt to scam through an SMS message on mobile phones. In the text, the taxpayer is notified that the Treasury will make a reimbursement of 1,245.67 euros with the excuse that it is a pending return. This fraudulent warning can reach both the mobile phone and the email input tray.
In addition, to make it more credible, it is signed with the name of the director of this agency under the Ministry of María Jesús Montero, Soledad Fernández and Law 58/2003 “of December 17 General Tax” is cited. Once the message receiver falls into the trap, the scam begins. It is indicated, as reported Europa Presswhich must click on a link and then fill your personal data.

The problem is that, when entering the fraudulent link, the taxpayer is redirected to a web page in which the ‘phishing’ is (a hoax that occurs in other cases, even in enrollment in educational centers). This case was detected on Wednesday by the Tax Agency that is already taking the necessary measures, as sources from this agency have reported to EP.
What does the False Finance email say
The message informs the recipient that his statement “corresponding to the last fiscal year” (the rent) has been analyzed and that it has been “qualified to receive a tax refund for an amount of 1,245.67 euros”, as published Newrtral.
The link in which the scam is redirected to a website that supplants that of the AEAT and in which personal data is requested from the taxpayer to carry out the fiscal validation. Then, you must introduce the bank account in which the alleged income of money would occur.
AEAT never requests data by email
This medium mentioned above has contacted the Tax Agency, who have denied that the message has left their computers. In addition, they remember that they never request personal data through email or messages. Also that confidential information such as account or card numbers never requested them in this way.
And that neither the director nor any of the officials who work in the institution sign emails like this. “We have just detected the case and the usual computer measures are already being taken.”
