Recent fraud attempts have been reported involving the unauthorized use of Banca d'Italia's name and logo. These include fraudulent requests for money, such as demands for payment to obtain the release of previously invested funds or contributions to secure the release of kidnapped journalists abroad, with the false promise that Banca d'Italia will later reimburse the sums.
Banca d'Italia is in no way involved in any of these requests. We strongly advise against responding to these fraud attempts and recommend reporting them to the relevant judicial authorities.
For any doubts or clarifications, you may submit an information request to Banca d'Italia via the Servizi Online page.
Banca d'Italia reserves the right to report such incidents to the judicial authorities, also to safeguard its interests and reputation.
