Fraudulent e-mail in the name of various insurance companies

A fraudulent e-mail is currently being circulated on behalf of various insurance companies, including Ethias, ING, Belfius, Axa, Corona Direct, Allianz Assistance, AG Insurance, Baloise and KBC Assurances.

The e-mail mentions a refund you could receive on your 2024 premium following a policy review. You are invited to click on a link to check your details and obtain your refund.

Don't fall for it, it's a phishing message.

What should you look out for?
  • Check the sender's e-mail address: high@muchosgrande.com does not correspond to your insurance company.
  • The message relies on urgency to supposedly reimburse you quickly.
  • The email is not addressed to you personally.
  • Always check the link they are trying to direct you to. In this case, it does not correspond to the domain name of an insurance company.
