The National Social Security Office has published a message on its website warning against forged letters making the rounds requesting employers to transfer money to an account that does not belong to the National Social Security Office. Measures were taken in a timely manner: as far as we know, no payments have yet been made to the account.
In recent days, several employers have received a forged letter requesting them to settle outstanding contributions from 2014. The amounts requested are in the thousands of Euros. Although the letter strongly resembles a real NSSO letter, the account number to which the payments are to be made does not belong to the National Social Security Office. This is a case of fraud, comparable to the situations recently faced by other Federal Public Services (e.g. FPS Finances).
The National Social Security Office immediately filed a complaint with the Brussels Public Prosecutor's Office. The latter has launched an investigation into the matter. No amounts had yet been transferred to the account, which has since been blocked.
The forged document has the following characteristics:
Employers who are unsure whether a request for payment is authentic can contact either their approved Employer's Payroll and HR services bureau, or the person who is responsible for social security administration.
