Warning: phishing emails sent in the name of Luminus

We are receiving many reports of fake emails in which cybercriminals are posing as the energy company Luminus. Be careful, this email is trying to mislead you by mentioning your contract. 

In the email, the fraudsters ask you to click on a link to supposedly update your details so that they can obtain your bank details and defraud you. 

Do not click on these links and, if in doubt, always consult the official website https://www.luminus.be/.
