Fake police messages: fraud alert in Luxembourg
Residents of the Grand Duchy have been targeted by a scam involving receiving falsified electronic or postal messages. These messages were usurping the identity of national law enforcement, claiming to be part of an ongoing judicial procedure.
According to details provided by the authorities, such documents may also appear to be issued by police services from other countries. The Grand Ducal institution emphasises that this method does not reflect its official practices whatsoever. Anyone receiving such a solicitation should refrain from following the proposed directives and delete the message without delay.
Officials stress the need for increased vigilance when browsing online. Criminals are seeking to steal private information, access codes and financial details from internet users. The public is urged to warn their relatives, particularly elderly people, about the risks associated with this fraud.
