Beware of Fake SAT Summons Messages with Suspicious Links
If you receive a text message with a suspicious link claiming to be from the Tax Administration Service (SAT), be aware that it is likely a scam. These messages have become viral in recent times, primarily targeting parcel services and online shopping platforms like Amazon.
How the Scam Works:
- The scam starts with a summons message containing a suspicious link.
- Clicking the link downloads malware onto your computer.
- The message claims that you have outstanding debts and threatens fines.
- The message includes a phone number and email address that are not official SAT contact information.
What to Do If You Receive a Fake SAT Message:
- Report the message to the SAT by emailing [email protected] or contacting the cyber police at 088.
- Be wary of any message claiming to be from the SAT that asks you to download files or click on suspicious links.
- Remember that the SAT will never request personal or financial information through text message.
Official SAT Communication Channels:
- Visit the official SAT website at https://www.sat.gob.mx/home.
- Check their social media pages.
- Contact the Tax Mailbox through your online account.
Remember:
- The SAT does not have official profiles on WhatsApp, Telegram, or other messaging apps.
- Be cautious of any message that appears suspicious or asks for personal information.
