Federal warning: Fake Novo Desenrola Brasil sites surface amid debt relief push
What authorities say
On May 21, 2026, the Ministry of Finance issued an urgent alert about fraudulent websites that impersonate the Novo Desenrola Brasil program. Officials say criminals are abusing the program’s credibility to steal money from citizens with debts. The notification, confirmed by the Federal Government, indicates scammers have built counterfeit pages that look official and promise quick debt relief.
How the scam operates
Criminals publish fake pages designed to imitate government sites, claiming debt can be settled in a matter of days. They request a CPF check and data about the type of debt. The scammers then tie the supposed renegotiation to a payment made through Pix, alleging it covers administrative fees or electronic processing. The ministry reiterates that participation in Novo Desenrola Brasil is free and does not involve any charges.
Protection steps for citizens
To protect themselves, individuals should avoid clicking on suspicious links and verify that a site’s address ends with the official government domain. Any renegotiation should be conducted directly with banks and other licensed financial institutions. The government notes that the Novo Desenrola Brasil program offers debt relief through reduced interest and meaningful discounts, and true renegotiations do not require paying fees upfront.
Conclusion
The Ministry of Finance’s urgent alert highlights a clear risk: fake Novo Desenrola Brasil sites are attempting to steal money by requesting CPF data and debt details, then demanding payment via Pix for fictitious administrative fees. The article reiterates that the program is free and incurs no charges, and that authentic renegotiations take place with banks and licensed financial institutions, not scammers. To stay safe, individuals should verify that sites end with the official .gov.br domain, avoid suspicious links, and never share personal data or pay upfront. If in doubt, they should consult the government portal, seek the official Novo Desenrola Brasil page, and report fraudulent sites to authorities. Following these precautions helps ensure access to legitimate debt-relief opportunities while protecting personal information.
