STF Warns of Phishing Scams Targeting Public

September 5, 2024
Reading Time: 2 mins read

The Federal Supreme Court (STF) in São Paulo, Brazil, issued an alert regarding phishing scams misusing its name and brand to deceive the public. These scams falsely claim legal violations, fines, or court orders to pressure victims into revealing sensitive information or paying fraudulent charges. The STF highlighted that these malicious communications are delivered through emails and messaging apps like WhatsApp, employing emotionally charged language to manipulate recipients.

Phishing, a digital crime tactic, exploits victims’ trust in authoritative institutions by mimicking credible sources to execute scams. Typically, these messages threaten serious legal consequences or demand urgent payments to compel recipients to comply. Once victims engage with the links in these emails or messages, they are tricked into divulging personal information, including bank details, passwords, and other sensitive data.

The STF and the Public Prosecutor’s Office have become common targets for these phishing schemes. Reports from victims indicate that scam messages often carry alarming titles like “Court Order for” to create a sense of urgency and credibility. These fake emails and messages have appeared on major platforms, such as Gmail and Hotmail, increasing their reach and potential for harm.

Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant against such fraudulent activities. Citizens are advised to avoid clicking on suspicious links, refrain from sharing sensitive information in response to unsolicited messages, and verify the authenticity of any communication claiming to be from the STF. The STF reassured the public that it does not request payments or sensitive information via email or messaging services.
