       un-be-fucking-lievableI got a targeted #scam email from the Austrian tax service. Notifying me about ~1500€ outstanding tax from 2023.They would execute my flat tomorrow!+link, where I could easily pay the scammer.It looked really believable at first!Despite the obvious fake Address and ads that the scammer forgot to remove.Because last year I really had an outstanding tax payment for 2023!So my 1st thought was: Did they not book my payment correctly?#finanzonline #digitalaustria

       @xro I got that as well. 🤷In my case easy to spot because of https://karl-voit.at/2015/02/01/muttfilter/

       I never got a scam e-Mail like that before! So how did they know!My employer filed for insolvency in 2023 and all employees got their last salaries from the #IEF. In such cases everybody has to pay extra tax on that next year.The scammer probably got the insolvency data from public records and employee names from the homepage. Guessed one of my e-Mail Addresses. Bet on people forgetting this #tax debt, waited two years and then sent targeted #scam e-Mails!That's a new level of insidious!

       indeed, now verified, that all previous employees got the same targeted spam.I find this noteworthy, because this tries to exploit a- rather obscure and rare event- in a tiny country like Austriaand requires- inside knowledge about our tax system and deadlines- manual work of finding the employees and guessing their privat e-mailsGuess this is the new world of #AI assisted scamming.

       @publicvoitI use the same method. It was easy to detect as spam, yes.The point is that it seems to me to have sophisticated automated personal targeting and data mining behind it.
