Phishing case information

On this page you will find information on detected cases of attempts to impersonate the Tax Agency by means of false e-mails and SMS.

Campaigns are being carried out to send fake emails and SMS messages that impersonate the Tax Agency.  

The aim of the criminals is to steal the victim's personal or banking data, either by sending them to a fake website that impersonates the Tax Agency or by making them download files containing viruses.  

Do not answer these messages, they are an attempt to commit fraud by impersonating the Tax Agency. 

This is not the first time that this type of email or SMS has been used, which is why raising awareness and informing citizens is essential. We recommend: 

  • Do not open messages from unknown or unsolicited users, delete them directly. 
  • Do not reply to these messages under any circumstances. 
  • Be careful when following links in emails, even if they are from known contacts. 
  • Be careful when downloading email attachments, even if they are from known contacts. 

The Tax Agency insists that it never requests confidential, financial or personal information, account numbers or card numbers from taxpayers by email or SMS, nor does it attach attachments with invoice information or other types of data.
