The National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (STATEC) has issued a warning about people posing as representatives of the agency and asking questions about the existence or not of domestic animals in the household. STATEC said that they are not carrying out any research on this subject and that the queries appear to be part of a scam. 

The agency advises anyone receiving such a call to quickly hang up, and inform STATEC by email or phone, to info@statec.etat.lu or 247 84 219, indicating where possible the name and number of the sender.
