Introduction

Scammers pretend to be from a government department or an official and claim that you may be involved in tax fraud, money laundering, fines or other matters. They issue you with false instructions with the aim of obtaining your personal information or persuading you to transfer funds or make payments.

Prevention

Stay vigilant when receiving friend request from strangers. Stay calm and carefully verify contacts who claim to be from local government agencies before following any instructions. Don't provide your personal or financial information. Don't blindly believe in the videos and photos provided by the other party.
