Mass phishing mailing has been recorded using name of the State Tax Service. Intruders send emails with messages about alleged tax debt and a demand to urgently pay it via the specified link.

Such messages have no relation to the State Tax Service of Ukraine and are attempt at fraud.

The emails usually contain:

- notification about the "unpaid tax debt";

- call to urgently click on a link to "check details" or "pay the debt";

- use of logos or visual style similar to official symbols of the State Tax Service;

- fake sender addresses that imitate official domains.

Clicking on such links may result in the downloading malicious software or theft of confidential data.

Please note: the Tax Service does not send demands for payment of tax debt through third-party links in emails.

We urge citizens and business entities to be especially careful and adhere to basic rules of the cyber hygiene:

- do not open emails from unknown or suspicious senders;

- do not click on links in suspicious notifications;

- do not download attachments from such emails;

- check information exclusively through official State Tax Service’s resources;

- in case of doubt, contact official channels of the Service.
