Fraudsters are misusing Eurojust's name and logo in online scams. Eurojust will never call citizens to request money transfers or personal information without a prior engagement.
Eurojust is the EU Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation. We support national judicial authorities in the EU and beyond in investigations and prosecutions of cross-border crime.
Eurojust does not contact members of the public to:
- Request personal information, bank details, login credentials, one-time passwords or copies of identity documents;
- Request payment, unless this is part of an existing contractual relationship with Eurojust (for example, with suppliers, contractors, or service providers);
- Warn someone that they are under investigation or threaten legal consequences to obtain money or information;
- Give instructions or direct you to take or avoid specific actions.
If you receive a message, letter, email, SMS or phone call that uses Eurojust’s name or logo and asks you to transfer money or share information, this is a fraud attempt.
What to do:
- Do not follow the instructions in the message.
- Do not click on links or open attachments.
- Keep the message and any available details (for example, screenshots, sender information and email headers).
- Report the incident to your local police or national fraud reporting centre.
- Inform Eurojust using this contact form so we can track impersonation attempts and warn others.
