New scam attempts in the name of the Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) and its staff

There are fraudulent messages being sent again in the name of the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA) and its staff and management. Please be vigilant when viewing emails.

In the scam attempts, email addresses may have been modified to appear as though sent from the FIN-FSA, and it may be hard to tell the difference between this and a genuine message. If you reply directly, this will go straight to the scammer. Do not reply to these scam messages and do not click on any links contained within them. Do not open any attachments either.

If you receive a suspected scam message, please contact the FIN-FSA directly about this, but through a different channel – do not use any link or phone number contained in the message.

Media requests for interviews are coordinated by FIN-FSA Communications, tel. +358 9 183 5030, Mon–Fri 9:00–16:00.
