What should you look out for?
- The message is urgent, as it is a reminder. The amount you are supposed to pay has been increased.
- Check the sender's e-mail address. You will see that ANTAI is not the sender. Official emails from ANTAI are sent from this email address: nepasrepondre_noreply@antai.gouv.fr
- Also check the URL of the website to which the link refers. You can move your mouse over the link to check this. The official ANTAI website is https://www.antai.gouv.fr.
- Note that the fraudulent site on which you are asked to fill in your personal details contains all the official logos. Don't fall for it and check the website URL.
Too late, I clicked on a suspect link
- If you did click, don't fill in the fields any further and abort any interaction.
- NEVER give out personal codes.
- If you have passed on a password that you also use in other places, change it immediately.
Have you been ripped off?
- From the moment you lose money or are extorted, we recommend you file a police report. You file a report with the local police in your place of residence.
- Contact your bank and/or Card Stop on 078 170 170 if you have passed on bank details, money disappears from your bank account or you have transferred money to a scammer. That way, any fraudulent transactions can be blocked.
