Fake health refund emails warning
Service-Public.fr says it never asks for bank details by email - and you should not reply to latest phishing attempt
A GROWING number of fraudulent emails are doing the rounds claiming to be from France's official public administration, users have been warned.
The latest batch of "phishing" attempts involves an email relating to the Carte Vitale, the card used to obtain healthcare refunds in France.
The email, which has the Service-Public.fr logo at the top, invites recipients to provide personal details including their bank or card details to receive a reimbursement.
Service-Public.fr says it never sends out emails asking for money or bank details, or offering a refund.
If you have already replied to the email, you should contact your bank immediately to block any fraudulent transactions being made.
