"We reiterate that Aportes en Línea does not charge or pay via QR codes, direct transfers, or links sent by third parties. All transactions must be completed solely through the aforementioned URL," emphasizes Juan Manuel Clavijo, general manager of Aportes en Línea.

The executive stated that the company is working with the relevant authorities to carry out due process and have the fraudulent sites deactivated. However, he urged citizens to exercise extreme caution and reiterated the importance of entering the official website address directly into their browsers, thus avoiding accessing malicious pages that could put their information at risk.

Fraudulent pages

The following pages do not belong to Aportes en Línea and are designed to deceive users: - https://aportesaenlinea.com/Autoservicio/PagoElectronico.php - https://pagodeaportesenlinea.com/Autoservicio/PagoElectronico.php - https://aporteseaenlinea.com/Autoservicio/PagoElectronico.php - https://facturaaportesenlinea.com/Autoservicio/PagoElectronico.php - https://aportespagosenlinea.com
