Seine-et-Marne: Beware, they are usurping the identity of this town hall to steal your personal data

“We are pleased to inform you that your town hall offers residents the possibility of benefit from a holiday voucher for the current year.” This is a letter which several residents of Mée-sur-Seine (Seine-et-Marne) received, with the city ​​hall logo. But it is indeed a scam ! The municipality calls for vigilance.

A real fake paper!

And simple mail in the mailbox, in the colors of the town hall from Mée-sur-Seine, was found in the homes of several residents of the commune. This seems harmless, but immediately, several of them have doubted its veracity.

The letter urges residents to send confidential documents : identity document, tax notice, proof of address; in exchange for a Holiday Voucher from 400 to 600 euros. But the town hall confirms to The Republic of Seine-et-Marne that they are not not originally of this message and were keen to immediately warn the population through their social networks.

“We must encourage people who are victims to file a complaint to the municipal policies or to the police nationale. The people who received this mail do not appear to be targeted. It is randomly distributed“, indicates the town hall.

And the evildoers took pains to give the impression of official mail. The letter is inserted in an envelope. There is indeed a town hall header and very few spelling mistakes. We therefore imagine that it is an official document.

The greatest caution

However, Nathalie Cornetto whom we must send the famous papers, to benefit from holiday vouchers, is unknown to the battalion ! “This is disturbing in the sense that They are trying to scam the Means has low incomeearning less than 14,000 euros per year. This is a weak target,” the City deplores.

A resident of Mée testifies: “I received the mail in my mailbox on Friday June 21. Which put me the doubtIt is the watermark who was not not good quality. »

As for the recommendations that have been made, it is important to do not send any documentsno message to the email address provided. If possible, “it would be nice to insert the address in the junk mail from his mailbox”.

If there is any doubt about the veracity of a document, it is necessary move or call the town hall.

It is also advisable to carry out a report to the Ministry of the Interior. You must then send an email to the address at [email protected] with, attached, the letter received. cyberpoliciers will take care of the investigations.

The Mée-sur-Seine town hall invites anyone who has received this letter to go to the municipal police station (817 avenue Maurice Dauvergne), or the national police station (263 avenue de la Gare).
