While the beginning of the school year is quickly approaching, some students and their parents are also eager to know what kind they will be in. Taking advantage of this desire to know, the sites have been designed precisely for this purpose. The problem is that these are scams and are not new.
UFC -quir, Signal-Arnaques … Several actors and associations alerted these scams in August 2024, with the SEE.Maclasse.com and Revelclasse.fr. If these two sites have disappeared today, others still exist, such as maficheclasse.fr.
Behind these scams, only one goal: to steal the personal data of the curious people who seek to know their class, to use them for malicious purposes (identity theft, etc.).
Missions to carry out
To better deceive these people, the sites in question occupy the codes of the official pages of the Government (color, logo, character police …). Then users are invited to provide several information, namely the name and name of the child, as well as the name, city and the type of the establishment.
Once this data has been entered, the student’s name and first name appear on a list, along with other blurred names. But the Internet user must show that it is not a robot to access complete information. For this, it is necessary to carry out “missions.” In the case of Maficheclassse.f, they consist of downloading two applications from a selection, as indicated by Tech & Co.
In other cases, students and parents can be encouraged to register for competitions or even respond to surveys to access the complete list of their class. However, they do not receive information after carrying out these missions. Because there is no place that reveals their future class to students.
Therefore, it will be necessary to wait at the beginning of the school year to know. However, keep in mind that certain establishments can publish this information on their school life platform, such as Pronote, Ecooldirecte or Monbreaanumrica.
