The Zhunan Office of the National Taxation Bureau of the Central Area, Ministry of Finance, stated that recently, some citizens have reported receiving emails from CPC Corporation gas stations notifying them of winning prizes. These emails trick them into clicking on links and entering personal information, thus revealing their credit card details and leading to data breaches. The office urges the public to be cautious and avoid falling for these scams.

The office explained that tax fraud is rampant and reminds the public that the National Taxation Bureau will never ask for credit card numbers, expiration dates, ID card numbers, or 3-digit verification codes. When receiving emails from the government, always verify that the sender's website ends with "gov.tw". If you receive suspicious messages, please call the 165 anti-fraud hotline to verify, or call the toll-free tax service number 0800-000321 or contact your local National Taxation Bureau directly.

The office especially urges the public to be vigilant against tax fraud and learn these three tips: 1. Stay calm, do not disclose personal information, and do not click on unknown links. 2. Please carefully verify that the URL ends with "gov.tw". 3. Immediately call the 165 anti-fraud hotline to verify.

If you have any questions, please call our toll-free service number 0800-000321 for consultation, and we will do our best to serve you.
