Patent and Registration Office Warns of New Scam Messages

The Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) has issued a warning regarding new scam messages being sent in its name. These messages urge recipients to file beneficial owner details and include a link to an identification page. The fraudulent messages and associated web pages may appear legitimate but have no connection to the PRH.

PRH has recently communicated through various channels about matters related to beneficial owner information and the Finnish Trade Register. Scammers often exploit current topics in their communications, prompting the agency to advise its customers to remain vigilant.

Authorities emphasize that all official dealings with the Patent and Registration Office are conducted exclusively through the agency's own online services and official channels. In cases of doubt, the sender's address should be verified, and customers should contact PRH customer service directly if necessary.

The PRH never requests sensitive information or credentials via email or through links. Customers are advised to exercise caution and thoroughly check all messages they receive.
