The fraud helpdesk has reported that fake emails are being sent. The email claims that a message is waiting in your MijnOverheid Message Box from the Belastingsamenwerking Gemeenten en Waterschappen (Municipalities and Water Authorities Tax Collaboration). This is an organisation that sends out the municipal and water authority taxes in Limburg. It asks you to scan a QR code to pay. Do not do this. It’s a fake email.
RBG does not send out QR codes or payment links by email
You might think the email has been sent by the RBG, because these are municipal and water authority taxes. It has not. We do not send out QR codes or payment links by email.
Example of the fake email
You can find an example of the fake email at Fraudehelpdesk.
