If you live in France, you get these texts: a parcel waiting, a refund from Ameli, a fine to pay. Most are scams. Warning signs: - They ask you to pay a small fee, or to "confirm" your bank details. - The link does not go to the official site. Look at the address carefully. - They push you to act fast. What to do: - Do not click. Go to the official site or app yourself. - Forward the text for free to 33700. It is the official French spam reporting number. - If you gave your card details, call your bank at once to block the card. Seen a new scam going around? Share it here to warn others.

Businesses are also targeted, by email: fake invoices, fake change of bank details for a supplier. Simple rule: a change of bank details should always be confirmed by phone, using a number you already know.
