Finnish Patent and Registration Office warns of phishing attempts
The Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) has issued a warning regarding fraudulent messages requesting beneficial owner information.
The PRH reports that scammers are sending messages impersonating the authority to trick recipients into clicking links for a fake identification page. These messages falsely claim to be related to the filing of beneficial owner details, a topic currently under regulatory review.
The agency confirms that these websites and messages are unaffiliated with their official ytj.fi platform. Scammers are actively leveraging current administrative deadlines to increase the credibility of their fraudulent outreach.
PRH officials urge customers to exercise caution and avoid clicking links in unsolicited communications. Official filings should only be conducted through the agency’s secure, verified digital services.
