To extract money, malicious people are really ready to do anything. On French territory, scams are more and more numerous. After the fake bank adviser or the fake profiles of celebrities, the criminals now put themselves in the shoes of the police to trap people. And this time, they are targeting the elderly.

How does the fake police scam work?
First, the criminal calls his victims and tells them that he is an official investigating the hacking of their bank card. Then, the man invites his interlocutors to go to a tobacco shop type business to buy PCS coupons.
He then asks them for the codes and if, unfortunately, the victims accept, they fall into his trap. Once he has them in his hands, he compels his victims to destroy them so he won’t be spotted.

This type of scam is especially very common in Vaucluse. This is why the authorities called for vigilance in the face of these « fake police ». The sources of La Provence and Dauphiné Libéré say in particular that several people have already fallen into this trap.
Thus, the police of Vaucluse asks the inhabitants to be very careful.
“A police officer will never ask you to make a purchase and even less to communicate to him the codes of redeemable vouchers”, they said on social networks.
If you have ever experienced the same thing, it is best to file a complaint with the police. Above all, do not forget to keep theproof of good PCS which are very useful elements for the investigation.
Les types d’arnaque: the Luxembourg police
This is not the first time that we have had a fake police scam in France. Some time ago, the Luxembourg police warned the French of a fake email scam in the country.
To do this, the criminals send emails to the victims on which contain a signature of the director general of the police. They claim it is an email regarding criminal investigation proceedings. In the message, they ask them to send justifications in a given email address, while threatening them with legal action.
Faced with this, the Luxembourg police decided to react and insisted that it was a big scam. Besides, there are certain elements, such as typos, which quickly help to know that it is a pure scam. Thus, it is preferable not to reply to this email and to delete it directly if you receive one. It could save you from the worst.
fake celebrities
It is common for scammers to pretend to be someone else so they can extort money from their victims. Besides the fake cop scam, there is also the celebrity fan scam.
A scam that is increasingly visible in France. In 2018, for example, a woman came across criminals who posed as singer Amir. The scammers notably possessed images of her naked and blackmailed her. They were able to extract more than 6,000 euros at that time.
A young inhabitant of Doubs had also experienced the same problem some time ago. This time, the agrefins pretended to be the singer Alizée and defrauded of more than 15,000 euros through bank transfers and card purchases.
Then, in 2021, Le Progrès had shared this bad experience experienced by a resident of Mâcon. The poor woman came across ill-intentioned people who used the identity of Michel Sardou to trap her. The victim quickly believed them, especially since they prove their identity with identity documents, selfies or even photos of the musician’s places of residence.
They made her believe that she was in a relationship with Michel Sardou and managed to scam her for more than 5,000 euros.
The French gaming scam
It is also a very widespread scam in France. To do this, the scammer pretends to be the FDJ by taking up his colors and mentioning the names of famous games in France to be more credible.
He sends an e-mail to the victim, telling him that he was drawn and won money. There are also some scammers who carry out this kind of scam via SMS or MMS.
To avoid falling into their trap, you have to be very vigilant and analyze the messages which, most of the time, contain spelling mistakes.
