Fraudsters are currently pretending to be gendarmes and contacting individuals to ask them to provide personal information, such as identification numbers or bank codes, in order to carry out scams. These fraudulent calls aim to trick people into giving away sensitive details that can be used for financial theft. In response to these threats, gendarmes in the Doubs region have reminded the public of important security measures to follow. One of the key rules emphasized is that individuals should never share bank codes, personal identifiers, or banking details over the phone. This is because such information, if obtained by fraudsters, can be used to access accounts or carry out unauthorized transactions. The gendarmes also clarified that no official gendarme or bank representative would ever visit someone's home to collect a bank card or other financial information. If someone receives a suspicious call or is approached by someone claiming to be a gendarme or banker, they are advised not to provide any personal information. Instead, they should report the incident as soon as possible. The gendarmes recommend visiting a local gendarmerie brigade to file a report and seek further assistance. This kind of scam is part of a broader trend of phone-based fraud, where criminals use impersonation to gain trust and extract sensitive information. The gendarmes are urging the public to remain vigilant and to verify the identity of anyone requesting personal or financial information, ensuring they are dealing with legitimate representatives.
