Fines came through by email today not sure if it's for me or her.
It came from the gendamerie.fr and not the Gendarmerie.fr.
Anyone else get one 😃

@ Mysty, since the discovery of the American invention of the internet - goodbye to this French invention - it's the same old story everyday here in France. For some or other reason the French citoyens are easily intimidated by letters from official organisations. Either the EDF threatens you to cut off your supply, pay within three days..., or something from France Télécom / Orange, Mr. Taxman and last but not least the men in black, the gendarmerie. Helpful as they always are ( puis-je vous aider?) they published something about this tsunami of fake amendes by email. And never open links in these emails, you never know what happens next with your bank account or passwords. faq.gendarmerie.interieur.gouv.fr/fr-FR/Post/2163Pay tomorrow or else? No, pay within 46 days after your (speeding?) offense and you get a special discount. A little bit too fast goes for 45 €. Paying between day 47 and day 76: at the normal rate of 68 €. Waiting too long goes for 180 €. And always a nice official letter at your home address, in France or elsewhere in Europe, never, never by e-mail. |

I hope you didn't click on the link. It's definitely a scam. Several pointers, not least spelling mistakes and bad grammar. Delete and forget it.

Correct. (to Robert's note about letters)
I am an expert on speeding notices and no way is that one genuine. I guess ANTS might have email addresses somewhere, but notices are always by letter and will show car number and registered owner.
As he says, open the link at your peril.

On subject of scams - I have not seen this one on speeding, but has everyone by now had the Carte Vitale one? - from Ameli - your new card is ready to send out bla bla, postage cost 1€, fill in your card details here etc etc
It might sound obvious, but it has been a huge money spinner for the fraudsters. Similar one from Netflix as well...
If you have not seen it, then make a note of it so that when it does arrive, you can bin it.

That was nice and easy, after you open the link if you load your bank details they can take the payment withoput penalties or intererst and they will post you some magic beans.  I did not open the links |
