Mexico's National Commission for the Protection and Defence of Users of Financial Services (CONDUSEF) reported that 14 duly constituted financial institutions registered in the System of Registry of Financial Service Providers (SIPRES) notified the authority of identity impersonation incidents in January and February 2025. The cases involve alleged unauthorised use of institutions’ corporate or trade names and logos to economically harm or mislead people seeking credit or other financial services. CONDUSEF said the impersonation was presumably carried out by individuals or “companies” using printed or digital media, and in some cases involved misuse of fiscal or administrative data. The affected institutions named were AYADOS, S.A. DE C.V. SOFOM E.N.R.; PRIMERO SEGUROS, S.A. DE C.V.; FINSOSTENER, S.A.P.I. DE C.V. SOFOM E.N.R.; CREDILEX, S.A.P.I. DE C.V.
