The Polícia Judiciária (PJ) has uncovered a new scam that misuses the Financial Information Unit of the PJ to send fraudulent letters and documents. These documents falsely announce alleged tax debts, bank account blockages, and payment demands, all intended to defraud targets.
The investigators remind the public that the Financial Information Unit neither seizes funds nor requests their unfreezing against payment.
If you receive such contact, do not provide your personal information or follow the demanded instructions.
Additionally, the PJ emphasizes that sending such letters or communications constitutes a criminal act, and their receipt should be reported to criminally charge the perpetrators.
