It has almost become routine in the midst of scams: the one about Chronopost packages. Packages that “encountered an error during delivery”, address confirmation needed or a need to “regulate delivery information”: messages concealing scams are recurring today.
This time, the problem would be the weight of the fake package. Several internet users have shared SMS screenshots with the same type of message each time.
Sites close to reality
A link to a fraudulent site accompanies each SMS. And the scam could almost work as the site in question looks exactly like the official website of the delivery company. With one exception: every time you want to click on one of the site’s tabs, a “404 error” page appears, indicating that the page does not exist.
Please note that several fake sites have been created especially for this scam, such as “chronopost-routings.com” or “chronopost-transport.fr”. However, the goal is always the same: to recover your personal data in order to hack it.
Chronopost reminds on its website that the company’s official text messages are sent with the number 38004, and not with a number that begins with 06 or 07. The service also indicates that the package number is always noted in the body of the message or the name of the sender. . In the event of any suspicion of a dubious message, Chronopost invites Internet users to send the scam to [email protected].
