OLAF alert on email fraud message

Details

The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) is warning of an ongoing online scam through the sending of a misleading email (phishing) message with OLAF as the apparent sender. The recipient of this message should definitely not reply to this message, should not follow any links contained therein and should avoid disclosing any personal information.

This malicious action uses the logo and identities of OLAF officials. However, there are several points that reveal that this is an electronic fraud. The emails and their attachments include an old version of the OLAF logo combined with the new logo in the same message.

In addition, these messages are sent from a fake mail address (olaf-europa.eu). Please note that all European Commission email addresses, including OLAF's, are easily identifiable as genuine because they all end in ec.europa.eu.
