Recently interviewed by our colleagues from ParisianJean-Jacques Latour, cybersecurity manager at cybermalveillance.gouv.fr, indicated that the parcel scam “ comes back in force before Black Friday, during Christmas and until the winter sales. During these two or three months, there is always an increase in these facts. »
When in doubt, a golden rule. As the platform specifies on its site, “ Mondial Relay will never ask you to download a file (on dropbox.com, Partager-fichiers.com or others), to contact a premium rate number, to make a bank transfer, to pay additional fees or to send an SMS to track your package “. The site invites its customers to “ be vigilant[e] and in general always check the follow-up of [son] parcel on [son] site web ».
Next, never click on a link in a suspicious SMS. Systematically check the shipping number, compare it with the one you know. The site URL must be scrupulously authenticated. Never communicate your banking details on a platform whose veracity you do not guarantee.
You can also report the fraudulent message on the THESEE government platform via the public service website and immediately delete the SMS.
