The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (Hanfa) warned citizens on Monday that fake email messages have appeared in which individuals present themselves as Hanfa employees and attempt to deceive citizens.
In the email messages, recipients are indirectly intimidated by referencing money laundering, Hanfa, the European Central Bank, the U.S. SEC, and other participants in the financial market to lend credibility and legitimacy to the sent email message, as highlighted in Hanfa’s statement.
Ultimately, citizens are offered the opportunity to access their alleged funds that have been set aside in a special account for a fee of several hundred euros to activate the account.
Hanfa emphasized that such email messages are fake and that Hanfa employees never send emails of such or similar content to citizens.
– The public is urged not to fall for such email messages and not to send money – appeals Hanfa.
In case of any doubts, Hanfa is available via official phone numbers and its website or via email: [email protected], it is stated.
