Fraudsters sell withdrawn food in the name of Nébih
In recent days, fraudsters misusing the name and data of the National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) contacted unsuspecting customers by email: they offered confiscated food for sale, for which they also issued a fee request – Nébih told MTI on Wednesday.
The office draws the attention of the population, businesses, and other organizations to the fact that Nébih does not carry out sales activities and does not trade in products withdrawn from circulation, so it did not issue invoices requesting fees. If you suspect fraud, report it to Nébih’s customer service or report it to the police.
According to the information, based on the inquiries received by Nébih’s customer service, it learned that an unknown person, pretending to be a Nébih employee, was offering food seized by the office for sale by email. Based on a fraudulent fee requester who misused the name of the authority, he offered the possibility of payment by bank transfer to the customers, who could place their order in a reply message. Regarding the offer, he also wrote that it is only valid for a short time, after which the products will be destroyed. The office took the necessary measures, they wrote.
