Luxembourg's Ministry of Justice has issued a warning regarding fraudulent phone calls targeting residents in the Grand Duchy. The calls are made by individuals posing as representatives from the Luxembourg Police, Interpol, or Europol and are aimed at extracting personal information from recipients.
The scam calls have been reported in both English and French, originating with the digits "671." Some of these communications utilize pre-recorded messages, also known as "Bot Calls."
In response to this issue, the Luxembourg Police have provided several recommendations for those who receive such calls:
- Ignore the call without hanging up to avoid indicating that your number is active.
- Refrain from returning calls to unfamiliar foreign numbers.
- Block suspicious callers on your device.
- Do not disclose any personal information over the phone.
- Avoid complying with any demands or threats made during these calls.
- Review your phone bill for unauthorized charges and report them to the police.
For further details, residents are encouraged to consult the Luxembourgish Police's guidance on fraudulent calls available in French.
