Many consumers in Austria currently receive mails from "HCFS" ("High Class Forderungsservice"). To give them an official look, they put various logos in their writing (like the logo of the European Union). The given bank account is one in Bulgaria, which seems especially strange as the writing comes from Germany (Fürth). The website "high-class-forderungs-service.com" is registered in Hamburg, but the link isn't working. The same applies for the hotline.
Don't be intimated!
- Fraud is very likely!
- Don't pay the requested amount and don't react at all to the mails!
- HCFS probably doesn't exist.
- Don't let them intimate you. They just try to get consumers to pay, but they have no legal basis for their demands.
