Pas un centime, avant de payer
A French prevention guide reconstructs common scam pitches and explains how to identify them before money changes hands.
Field notes
The guide organizes scam recognition around two practical tests: who receives the money and whether the offer describes possible losses as well as gains. It also separates payment channels by likely recourse, warning that prepaid vouchers, crypto, cash mandates, and similar transfers may be unrecoverable even when transactions are traceable. Follow-up guidance points victims toward screenshots, account reports, THESEE, Perceval, and Cybermalveillance.gouv.fr.
