Israeli Police warned the public about a fake email circulating with the message "final notice regarding personal investigation summons," which did not originate from law enforcement. The email, allegedly sent from the investigations department, stated: "In accordance with system instructions, a personal file requiring immediate clarification has been opened against you. Please review the summons details and act accordingly. Note: Failure to respond may be considered a serious violation of instructions."
"Recently, inquiries have been received indicating that the public has been sent email or text messages with the heading 'Important message regarding personal investigation summons' containing a link leading to an online review of the summons details."
Police clarified this is a fraudulent message and not an official inquiry. "This is an attempted fraud or phishing." Officials added that "the link attached to the message leads to a fake page pretending to be a summons review page. In any case where suspicion arises that this is a fraudulent inquiry, and there is concern about a phishing attempt."
Police reminded the public not to click on attached links, download files to computers, and to block the email address or phone number that sent the message.
