Phishing Email Cites W-8BEN PMC

The phishing emails carry the subject line: “Federal Tax Residency Verification Notice — Required Renewal of W-8BEN PMC Certification.” They use branding consistent with CMC Invest and reference real financial processes, including U.S. IRS tax compliance. A detailed legal disclaimer is included to give the emails credibility.

Finance Magnates contacted CMC Markets, but no comment was provided at the time of publication.
