Swiss authorities warn of a phishing scam impersonating Serafe, the national broadcasting fee collection agency. The fraudulent emails aim to steal personal and financial data. The scam involves fake emails requesting "current living situation" verification, directing recipients to a phishing website to input sensitive information like birth dates, social security numbers, and credit card details. The Federal Office for Cybersecurity advises against entering data via email links and recommends contacting financial institutions and police if victimized. Serafe receives address changes automatically from local authorities.
