Email: Invoices from Sharp Energie BVBA

At the moment there is another wave of rip-off mails to unsuspecting customers. One of these spam mails is adorned with the name Sharp Energie BVBA.

• The Sharp Energie BVBA comes from Bremen according to its own information and provides services.
• With the mail you will receive an invoice for allegedly performed services on your electricity meter.
• Due to the supposedly provided service, you will be asked to transfer the amount of EUR 79.49 to an account in Belgium. With the "crooked" amount, the fraudsters probably want to add a touch of authenticity to their bill.
• However, the bill is a brazen scam, totally dubious and you should under no circumstances transfer the money.

Sharp Energie BVBA: Receive an invoice - what to do?

• Please contact the local police directly. These cases of fraud have recently become known primarily from Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. However, the spam mails will be sent nationwide.
• If you are unsure because you have recently had work done on your electricity meter, call the company you have asked and inquire. As a rule, reputable companies send their invoice by post anyway.
• You should also not open attachments that are attached to such spam mails, as they may be spy software or other malware.
