The Trinidad and Tobago Cyber Security Incident Response Team (TT-CSIRT) and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) have issued an urgent warning regarding a fraudulent website impersonating the Trinidad and Tobago Board of Inland Revenue‘s e-Tax platform.
The phishing site which copies the look and feel of the website including Trinidad and Tobago Government logos attempts to trick you into believing that you have a tax refund and asks you for your credit card, login and other personal details.
