Mexico City Issues Alert on SAT-Impersonation Vishing Scam

Overview

• The SSC’s Cyber Police say callers pose as SAT officials to allege tax irregularities and threaten fines or embargoes to coerce data or payments.
• Fraudsters bolster the ruse with spoofed numbers, forged emails or documents, and links to websites that mimic SAT pages.
• Authorities highlight hallmarks such as unexpected calls, urgent payment demands via transfers or prepaid cards, and requests for personal or banking details.
• Guidance urges residents to refuse information, avoid non‑official payments, and verify any notice directly on the SAT portal.
• Victims and witnesses can contact the unit at 55 5242 5100 ext. 5086 or policia.cibernetica@ssc.cdmx.gob.mx; prosecutors logged about 2,000 fraud probes from January to November with 235 in November, though location data remain sparse.
