Poland's Ministry of Finance warns of JPK_VAT phishing scams

The Polish Ministry of Finance and the National Revenue Administration (KAS) have issued a warning regarding fraudulent emails targeting taxpayers. Scammers are impersonating tax authorities by sending messages concerning JPK_VAT file corrections to solicit sensitive information.

The phishing attempts encourage recipients to click on dangerous links or open attachments. Once clicked, users are redirected to fraudulent websites designed to steal personal data, bank account numbers, addresses, and email passwords.

Authorities emphasize that legitimate JPK_VAT notifications sent by the National Revenue Administration do not contain any clickable links or references, nor do they request users to log into any system. If an email regarding JPK_VAT includes a 'verify file' button or an attachment, it should be treated as a scam.
