Authorities are urging caution as scammers posing as Luxembourg Inland Revenue employees attempt to deceive residents through threatening phone calls.

The Luxembourg Inland Revenue (ACD) has issued a warning to residents regarding fraudulent phone calls.

Scammers are reportedly posing as ACD employees or individuals acting on behalf of the authority, using threats of legal action to intimidate recipients.

The exact motive behind the scam remains unclear, though it is suspected that the fraudsters may be seeking personal information or attempting to extort payments from their targets.

The ACD has emphasised that it does not contact citizens by phone to announce legal proceedings or demand payments.

Official communications are typically conducted through postal mail.
