QUESTION?
The type of scam is as follows:
The alleged perpetrators impersonate a Public Administration service provider by creating an email account that simulates and closely resembles the original and authentic.
With this email, they contact the Public Administration, or entity linked to the Public Sector, and request the payment of a series of pending invoices and / or transfers, but with express indication to do so to another bank account number, different from the usual one, alleging in some cases audit issues, changes of entity or simply obeying a business decision.
To this end, they attach and send a falsified bank certificate, which would state the ownership of the new account, in the name of the provider, an account to which the Public Administration should make the deposit or transfer. The purpose of this false document is to certify to the Treasury Department of the Administration the change of destination of the transfers.
The affected Administration does not suspect anything and transfers the money to this new account indicated by the scammers, believing that it is transferring to its provider. This money, however, never reaches its final recipient but goes to the account controlled by the scammers.
Given these facts, the Police of the Generalitat - Mossos d'Esquadra recommends:
In case of receiving emails where payment is requested to a different account than the usual one, it is highly recommended to contact, preferably by telephone (and / or by other means) the service provider (usual contact person) so that Check that the request made is correct, so that there can be no doubt that the request made is legitimate and is not a scam.
If you are victims of a crime, immediately notify the Mossos d'Esquadra on telephone 112
