CNSS Issues Alert on Email Fraud Campaigns

The Caisse Nationale de Sécurité Sociale (CNSS) has issued an official warning after discovering fraudulent emails impersonating its identity and targeting insured individuals to steal their personal information. This alert comes amid a rise in phishing attempts that utilize sophisticated techniques to convince victims that the messages are genuinely from the institution.

Deceptive Messages Impersonating CNSS

The CNSS has emphasized that these emails do not originate from any of its official services, clarifying that they are solely designed to trap citizens and extract confidential information that can be exploited for financial scams or identity theft. The institution also notes that the fraudsters adopt language and style similar to CNSS’s official communications, necessitating heightened vigilance.

A Call for Caution and Complete Non-Interaction

The institution advises insured individuals not to respond to any suspicious messages, not to click on any links or attachments, and not to share any banking details or identification documents via email. It also stresses the importance of immediately reporting any fraudulent attempts to the relevant authorities to enhance preventive measures.

Sensitive Data in the Crosshairs of Scammers

These fraudulent messages aim to obtain essential personal information such as identification card numbers, banking details, and login credentials. Such information can be used to carry out illegal transactions or create fictitious identities for fraudulent purposes. The very act of requesting this type of information via email is a clear sign of phishing.

Recordings Renew Debate on Fraudsters’ Tactics

This alert follows the dissemination of audio recordings and videos on social media, created by citizens who have been targeted by similar attempts. These materials reveal the methods employed by fraudsters, ranging from identity theft and the use of official-sounding language to psychological pressure tactics aimed at compelling the victim to disclose personal data.
