New scam received by email today

Received today. Email in 3 languages and whilst there are telltale signs (both email addresses, spelling) it can look convincing to the casual reader.

  1. Yes, schweiz .ink is a very legitimate link. They did not even bother changing the text of the link lol

  2. Philisophical question: If you are under the age of 60 and fall for this, do you deserve it?

  3. Tax authorities will write you a letter addressed to you when they want something from you. Anything else is a scam.

  4. I received the same this morning. I realised it’s a scam when I noticed the noreply@fcbarcelona.com address in copy. Also the schweiz.ink domain was registered only a few days ago.

  5. Of course it’s legit. “ink” is a shorcut for “Inkasso”. And the address has “schweiz” in it, must be official.
