During a phone call you are induced to sell or buy cryptocurrencies. The caller informs you that during the transaction ‘the requirements of the KNF concerning the recording of the transaction process’ must be fulfilled, e.g. through sharing the screen of your computer (or refers to other reasons for the KNF’s involvement which have been conceived by fraudsters, such as required participation of the UKNF’s employee in the call for the purpose of monitoring the transaction). 

Remember! The KNF and the employees of the UKNF are never involved in direct contact with financial institution clients or in specific transactions.

You are contacted by a person who wants to verify the cost of products or services offered by financial entities and during a phone call the person induces you to provide your personal data together with information on products and financial services you use. Somebody forces you to repay your financial liabilities earlier.

Remember! The KNF and the UKNF never authorise anybody (firms, private persons) to verify the costs of products or services or to check the quality of customer service at specific financial institutions. The KNF and the UKNF also never ask for personal data or online banking login credentials.

You received an e-mail with information that you have to pay fees to the KNF (e.g. a ‘transfer fee’ conceived by fraudsters for the withdrawal of a loan).

Remember! The UKNF never collects any fees on account of any loans.

You received a letter with the logotype of the KNF or the UKNF informing you that you have to pay money for, for example, ‘Non Residential Tax Clearance Certificate’. 

Remember! The UKNF never collects any fees or taxes for any tax clearance certificates.
