Internet users have reported receiving threatening emails from the National Police. In reality, it is a scam mounted by crooks who want to recover health passes to resell them.

Coronavirus infection induces an acquired immune response. But for how long is it effective against variants?

With every new big news story, crooks try to use it to rip off internet users reckless. This time the subject is the health pass, as reported by the CNIL (National Commission for Informatics and Liberties) on its account Twitter. The National Police reportedly sent e-mails ” following an investigation of suspicion of health pass fraud “. These messages are of course false, and their sole purpose is to retrieve the QR code of vaccinated people.

It was Twitter user Maxime Haes who provided more information by sharing a screenshot of the email in question. The message uses the logo of the National Police and tries to scare Internet users by recalling the penalties for forgery or use of forgery.

The domain name quickly blocked by Afnic

The crooks demand a screenshot or photo of the health pass, as well as a photo of the front and back of the identity card and a selfie holding this card. The documents sent by Internet users who have let themselves be trapped will then be resold on the black market.

Still on Twitter, Afnic – which manages “.fr” domain names – indicates that it has launched a justification procedure on the domain name used by e-mail, namely police-national.fr. The domain is frozen for a week before being blocked, which means that it is now impossible to respond to the e-mail received. The CNIL urges Internet users not to follow up on it, and as with any fraud, to report it on the government site internet-signalement.gouv.fr.
