A tax scam is currently circulating in mailboxes.
Some Internet users have received a fake email from the DGFiP promising them a refund via a form, alert the UFC-Que Choisir this Monday, November 22.
The aim of the criminals is actually to recover banking information.
Several elements make it possible not to fall into the trap.
The email received, if it mimics the header of the tax email, is generally not sent by the usual public service address, namely an address ending in@dgfip.finances.gouv.fr.
In addition, the email often contains many syntax and spelling errors, which should also alert.

Sometimes misleading web addresses
Another detail to pay attention to: the address of the website to which the victim is redirected by clicking on the link.
In most cases, this address is not the one used by the tax website.
However, it can sometimes look like it so do not hesitate to verify it by comparing it with the real site.
The UFC-Que Choisir finally recalls that the public authorities never ask for bank card numbers because they are able to automatically make a transfer in the event of an overpayment.
