Fraud SMS "tax debts" in the name of the BZSt
Fraudsters are currently sending text messages, supposedly in the name of the Federal Central Tax Office. They claim that overdue taxes have not been paid and that legal proceedings have been initiated.
The Federal Central Tax Office expressly warns against paying the amount demanded by SMS.
Bsp SMS:
Federal Central Tax Office
Despite several reminders, no payment has been made. Please transfer the amount of 612,56 € immediately, otherwise enforcement measures may be taken.
