The Financial Sector Supervisory Commission (CSSF) has issued a public alert following a surge in fraudulent schemes where scammers impersonate the organisation.
In a statement released Thursday, the CSSF reported a “significant increase” in such scams, with fraudsters posing as its representatives. The regulator highlighted that individuals – particularly cryptocurrency investors – are being contacted and pressured to pay fictitious taxes or fees.
The CSSF emphasised that it never reaches out to private individuals to demand payments of any kind. It also clarified that it holds no authority over tax matters or the management of financial instruments.
