Will residents of Latvia receive energy resource benefits? VSAA made an important statement

The VSAA emphasizes: no such benefit exists. "DON’T FALL FOR IT! Scammers are using an old trick, but their emails are becoming increasingly professional. Fake notifications about the appointment of an energy benefit, which DOES NOT EXIST, are being sent via email in the name of VSAA!" — warns the agency. The agency specifically notes that it has not sent such notifications and never requires clients to confirm payment in this manner. The email address and phone number listed in the fake notifications are not related to VSAA. Criminals use the name and design of a government agency to gain the trust of the email recipients and convince them to disclose their banking information. Upon receiving such a letter, one should never: - click on the links contained in it or press any buttons; - enter personal codes; - provide online banking login details; - input Smart-ID confirmation codes; - disclose credit card details. All this information can be used by scammers to gain access to funds in accounts. VSAA urges residents to carefully check the sender's address and pay attention to other signs of possible fraud. Fake notifications can look quite convincing. However, if the email rushes you to make a decision, urges you to click on a link urgently, or demands that you enter banking codes, Smart-ID data, or payment card information, this is a serious reason to suspect fraud.
