The scam appeared in June in Occitania.

Fake emails usurping email addresses from the Directorate General of Public Finance (DGFiP) summon companies that have benefited from the Covid-19 solidarity fund to reimburse overpayments.

This, in a very short time, under penalty of seeing a bailiff disembark.

And, of course, by transfer to a fraudulent bank account.



"We invite you to be vigilant about the content of the messages you receive, paying particular attention to all the signs and details that may reveal that it is a fraudulent message: spelling or syntax errors, request for detailed information about the company or its bank details, etc.

“, advises the administration.

If in doubt, it is better not to reply to these emails.

The real email addresses always end with @dgfip.finances.gouv.fr
