Save safeguarded Receiving scam alerts Health insurance, gendarmerie, banks or delivery people … Usually, phishing campaigns are targeting organizations or professions well known to the French. But this time, a scam goes even further. As BFMTV spotted, it is the Elysée which alerts it this Friday, March 14. In a message posted on social network X, the presidency alerts on an SMS: “Have you already received this type of message?” It is a bishing, a scam. Many are circulating at the moment. ”This message, the Elysée of which publishes a screenshot, is quite simple. He says, “Send me a message now on the signal application. My signal number is +33 7… Thank you. “, And it is signed” Emmanuel Macron “. The presidency account hides the number in question, but there is no doubt that it is a scam since it starts with 07. Obviously, the goal of the sources is to trap you. If a Frenchman sends a message to the indicated number, there is a good chance that he will come across a surcharged number.
