The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) is warning that an increasing number of phishing emails from a fake sender are currently circulating again.

The senders of the emails are pretending to be FINMA employees. FINMA does not send such emails and does not contact private individuals.

Recipients of emails purporting to come from FINMA are asked to always check the sender’s address carefully. FINMA recommends neither replying to such suspicious emails nor following any instructions contained therein. Do not click on any links contained in these emails.

If in doubt, please contact FINMA via the email address questions@finma.ch and provide the regulator with details of the email purporting to come from FINMA.
