The Ombudsman Office FINSOM warns of a possible attempt at fraud, phishing or malware infection involving the theft of FINSOM’s identity and cybersquatting.
A wave of emails has been sent from an address @finsom.co or @finsom.org using the FINSOM logo and information from its website. These emails claim that FINSOM is conducting a mediation procedure opened by a legal team and Interpol in view of recovering assets in an impending fraud case. Recipients are invited to click on a link to finsom.ch/archives to download information regarding the case. This link actually takes you to finsom.net.
FINSOM does not send such emails. The domains @finsom.co, @finsom.org and @finsom.net do not belong to FINSOM.
Recipients of emails claiming to be from FINSOM are asked to always check the sender’s address carefully. FINSOM recommends that you do not reply to these suspicious emails and do not follow the instructions they contain. Do not click on any links in these emails. If in doubt, please contact FINSOM.
