Phishing “Public Finance, Receive a refund from us”

In principle, the Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFiP) never sends an email of this type.

If there is a reimbursement, it will be automatically made to your bank account for which the DGFiP has a SEPA authorization.

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT CLICK ON THE “Refund Form” LINK

The technique consists of making the victim believe that they are speaking to a trusted third party – bank, administration, etc. — in order to extract personal information: password, credit card number, date of birth, etc. Indeed, most often, an exact copy of a website is made with the aim of making the victim believe that they are on the official website where they thought they were connecting. The victim will thus enter his personal codes which will be recovered by the person who created the fake site, he will thus have access to the victim's personal data, and for example in the context of a game, will be able to steal everything that the victim owns. on the game.
