ANSES warning against possible scams
To protect citizens from telephone and virtual scams, ANSES reaffirms that it does not request personal data, passwords or banking information by any means. Additionally, it urges beneficiaries to be wary of any message or call that asks them to provide this information, and to verify the legitimacy of any communication before sharing sensitive data.
