If you receive a message (SMS or email) inviting you to renew your Vitale card, above all, do not respond. This is a scam. Scammers collect your banking details to make purchases and debits from your account. Several Martinicans paid the price.
This is yet another scam. Malicious SMS messages, or even emails, invite individuals to renew their Vitale card.
A victim, a woman of a certain age wishing to renew her card, completes the first step in a risky process.
I clicked on the link and followed everything I was told to do in the message. In the end it told me as if to send the card you have to pay €3.90. Then in 2 to 3 days I will have my card.
In the next step, fake bank advisors complete the scam. They make phone calls and attempt to access individuals’ banking information.
I am told if I can go to my account to see if there is already a payment. Afterwards I went to the bank. The very kind banker received me, he checked everything and told me it was a scam.
Aware of the proliferation of these fraudulent actions, the General Social Security Fund of Martinique calls for the vigilance of policyholders. An awareness-raising operation was carried out with shares on social networks last October as well as this week.
Only the amelie.fr application allows you to carry out various operations in complete security.
Fraudulent messages and calls are increasing. We have more and more. It has become a real scourge with the increase in internet use, which is the main form of cybercrime. Obviously health insurance is concerned about this situation. It is important to specify that all communications, email, SMS or telephone, are limited to certain information. Health insurance will never ask you to provide login details or bank details. The sole purpose of these fraudulent messages is to try to obtain your personal contact details. Under no circumstances should you communicate information that concerns you. Medical, banking or connection details.
