Fluvius warns for fake e-mails

Network company Fluvius is warning against false e-mails. In the e-mails, customers are falsely urged to apply for a compensation of 125 euros from Fluvius in response to high energy prices and the situation in Ukraine. This message is false.

The fake e-mails and accompanying fake web page look very much like the house style of Fluvius, which may cause confusion. However, if you look closely at the e-mail address in the e-mails, it is clear that Fluvius is not the real sender. The link behind https://www.fluvius.be/compensatie does not lead to a fluvius.be domain but to a fake website. You can see this when you move your mouse over the link (without clicking). Fluvius therefore explicitly asks its customers not to click on the link and advises them to delete the fake e-mails.
