This email looks real but you should definitely not open it, it's a scam

Seemingly realistic, the message is in reality realistic. a scam.

This is the "last reminder" before the "suspension" Account. In recent days, thousands of French people have received an alert email, ordering them to “put in place” update [his/her] personal information now." According to the literature, this is a "security requirement” important to continue &agrav; benefit from our services." Considering the design of the email, the font and the various graphic elements, doubt is allowed. But be careful, it is indeed a trap.

The message is assumed to be coming from Ile-de-France Mobilités, the organization managing Parisian transport and issuing the Navigo Pass, the card allowing you to travel from Paris to Paris. #39;take the metro, RER, tram or even the bus in the capital and surrounding areas.

The problem is that the scammers have gone a little too far in their idea of ​​text, formulating a far-fetched promise: "We want " remind you that your subscription includes one free month, which will automatically be added to your subscription. &agrav; your account once the payment information is updated. up to date and confirmed." If IDFM offered a month of free transport, the announcement would have been made. resounding. Let's be clear, this is not the case, it's a scam.

Also, check the sender's email address: it appears at the top of the email on computer , while on mobile, you have to click on the sender's name for the address to appear. If, for IDFM, it is not on the "@iledefrance-mobilites.com" diagram, then it's a scam.

Finally, to be sure and certain, it is best to consult the official website of the company. organization for which the criminal is impersonating and to check whether communication via a channel other than emails has been carried out. done. Otherwise, it will be the same. again, very often, a scam.
