Overview

• Consumer watchdogs in Saxony have issued warnings about fake communications falsely claiming to be from the Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung (DGUV).
• Scammers are pressuring recipients to pay for a non-existent 'digitales Präventionsmodul,' using forged DGUV logos and the signature of its director, Dr. Stefan Hussy.
• The fraudulent scheme directs payments to Spanish IBAN accounts, a clear anomaly as the DGUV exclusively uses German IBANs.
• The DGUV has initiated legal proceedings against the perpetrators, while victims are urged to verify obligations and report fraud to police and banks.
• Individuals who have already paid are advised to contact their bank for potential reversals and file a police report to assist in investigations.
