Scam alert: scammers pose as FIU- the Netherlands
Recently, several organizations have been contacted by email and phone by scammers posing as FIU- the Netherlands. For example, they ask for your ID or IBAN number. Or they want you to transfer money directly. Be alert to this. FIU-the Netherlands will never ask you for this information.
The scammers will tell you the following:
- You are a victim of fraud. You must provide your details so that the investigation can proceed smoothly and they can recover your money.
- A payment to your account is blocked. You have to transfer money to make that so-called payment go through.
Or variations on these stories. Never respond to these types of requests. FIU-the Netherlands will never approach you in this way.
