Every year, during income tax season, digital fraud attempts increase.
Cybercriminals impersonate official bodies, such as the Tax Agency, to gain the victim’s trust and obtain personal or banking information.
They act with precision: they know the calendar, mimic real messages, and create urgency to make you act without thinking. Recognising these patterns is the first step to protecting yourself.
They pretend to be official communications with subjects like “Refund available” or “Issue with your tax return”. The include links to fraudulent websites.
These fake sites ask for personal or banking details, such as card information.
Intimidating alerts are used to create alarm, pushing you to act quickly without verifying.
Some emails include documents that, when opened, install spyware or capture your passwords without your knowledge.
You don’t need to be an expert
to spot a scam. Just apply common sense
and stop when something doesn’t seem right.
Scams often disguise themselves as urgent situations or threats. Be especially wary of any urgent requests for details or payments.
Keep calm, use your common sense, and if you think you might be a victim of fraud, get in touch with CaixaBank immediately through the official channels: Adviser Space or by calling +34 938 87 25 25.
