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.

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.
