Key Points
- CASS alerts users to fake emails impersonating the fund, claiming pending reimbursements.

- CASS never asks for banking info via email or sends payment links.
- Users urged to delete emails, avoid links, and contact CASS via official channels.
The Andorran Social Security Fund (CASS) has warned of a phishing campaign using fraudulent emails that impersonate the organisation to steal personal and banking details from recipients.
The scam messages claim there is a pending reimbursement and urge users to click a link for immediate payment processing. The link leads to a fake website requesting sensitive information, such as credit card details.
CASS emphasised that it never requests banking data via email or sends links to manage payments or refunds. The organisation advised recipients to avoid clicking any links, refrain from sharing personal information, and delete the emails immediately.
Users in doubt should contact CASS directly through official channels, the entity stated. It has shared an example of the fraudulent email to raise awareness and is actively working to prevent such digital frauds.
The parapublic body stressed the need for vigilance against online scams, urging caution with unsolicited messages promising financial benefits.
