Si jamais vous recevez un message contenant les mots "seriez-vous aimable", ne vous laissez pas tromper—supprimez-le immédiatement ! Cela peut sembler poli, mais c'est un classique que les escrocs utilisent pour vous manipuler. Ils diront des choses comme, "Seriez-vous aimable de confirmer votre mot de passe ?" ou "Seriez-vous aimable de m'envoyer vos coordonnées ?" pour le rendre inoffensif. C'est fourbe car cela ressemble à un service, mais en réalité, ils cherchent simplement à obtenir vos informations personnelles. Rappelez-vous, aucune entreprise ou personne légitime ne vous demanderait des informations sensibles de cette façon. Alors, si vous voyez apparaître "seriez-vous aimable", supprimez-le aimablement et passez à autre chose ! Animation créée par Sympa.

00:00If you receive a text containing three simple words, apparently harmless, would you be kind?
00:09Remember that this is a huge signal of alarm.
00:12In fact, even if a single word, kindness, appears in a text from an unknown number,
00:18there is a good chance that scams are after you.
00:21Tim Bajarin, a technology expert with 40 years of experience,
00:25explains that it is because in the United States, people do not often use the word kindly in everyday language.
00:31You are more likely to hear or read kindly in countries that were once under British influence,
00:37like Nigeria or India.
00:40There, English is not the main language.
00:43There is a good chance that a person living in one of these countries,
00:46and probably sitting in a market room full of scams,
00:50has sent you the message.
00:52It is not the same for support messages.
00:55Scams often pretend to be a technical assistance service,
00:58claiming that there is a problem on your device and that they will help you solve it.
01:03But it is really a stratagem.
01:05Experts fighting fraud warn that if you receive a message that you have not requested,
01:11whether it is a text message, an automated call, a message on social networks or an email,
01:17it is safe to show increased vigilance.
01:20If you have not initiated the conversation, it could be someone trying to deceive you.
01:25Scams know that people are becoming more and more skilled at spotting scams,
01:30so they have changed their approach.
01:32They use artificial intelligence to have perfect grammar and spelling.
01:37It could be started with a friendly message like,
01:40« Est-ce que je t'ai manqué aujourd'hui ? » or « Bonjour, comment ça va ? » or « Je serai en retard pour la réunion. »
01:47If you reply to these messages to say that they have deceived someone or ask who they are,
01:52they will try to deceive you in one way or another.
01:55Scams use these friendly opening sentences to build trust and pretend to be nice.
02:01Once they have caught your attention,
02:03they could ask you to invest in something like cryptocurrency,
02:07or say that they are bored and ask for gift cards.
02:11But it's just a stratagem.
02:13The best thing to do with any random message that you did not expect to receive,
02:17whether it is a text or an email, is simply to delete it.
02:21If the message claims to come from someone important, like your bank or the tax office,
02:26do not click on any link and do not open any joint coin.
02:30If you have doubts about the veracity of the message,
02:33you should connect directly to your account via the official website,
02:37and not by clicking on the links in the message.
02:40Another precautionary measure is to call the bank or the company
02:44using their official phone number to check if they really tried to contact you.
02:50It is important to report fraudulent messages,
02:52because law enforcement can use this information to assess the extent of the problem
02:57and redouble efforts to solve it.
02:59Another big scam that has occurred more and more recently
03:03is the stratagem called pig butchering.
03:06But do not worry, no pig is involved.
03:09This is called so because the scams spend time first fattening their target.
03:14They start by talking to you on social networks or a dating app
03:19and become friends, or even claim to be interested in a relationship with you.
03:23They discuss and get closer for weeks or months.
03:26Then, once you trust them, the scam proposes to invest in something that seems promising.
03:32It could be a new cryptocurrency or a special stock trading site.
03:37When you invest a lot of money, hoping to earn even more,
03:41the scam sabotages the relationship and disappears with all the money.
03:46It is therefore essential to double your vigilance
03:49in the face of any opportunity for online investment
03:51and not to share too much personal information with new friends online.
03:55In a scam on the job offer,
03:57you can receive an email about a job that seems interesting,
04:01even if you have not applied.
04:04Here, you must remember the golden rule of online secure browsing.
04:08If the offer seems too beautiful to be true, it probably is.
04:12The job offer is often unusual,
04:14such as a mystery client or a position that does not require any particular skills.
04:20If you say yes, your new employer will send you a check or a mandate to pay you,
04:26but the amount will be much higher than what he had promised.
04:30They will then tell you to keep some of the money and send them the surplus.
04:34And here is the trap.
04:35The check or the mandate they sent you was false.
04:38So when you send them the extra money,
04:41you are actually sending them your own money.
04:44And once you realize that the check was false, it's too late.
04:48Scams often use this strategy,
04:51especially on popular job search sites.
04:54It is therefore important to be careful
04:56and to carefully check every job offer that seems suspicious.
04:59If you receive a phone call from someone who claims to work for Microsoft
05:04or another large technology company
05:06and who offers to make your computer faster,
05:09don't be too enthusiastic.
05:11If you accept the offer, they will send you an email
05:14and you will click on a link to download a program
05:17that will allow them to control your computer remotely.
05:20Once they are in control,
05:22they can install malicious software on your computer,
05:25which allows them to see your files
05:27and steal important personal information.
05:30To protect yourself from this type of scams,
05:32ignore the unsolicited advice from strangers.
05:35Real companies will not call you for no reason to
05:38repair your computer.
05:40And please, never allow remote access to your computer
05:44unless you know and trust the person.
05:47If someone calls you,
05:49ask questions to make sure he is the one he claims to be.
05:53Scams often abandon you if they see that you are being careful.
05:57Sometimes scams create fake quizzes or surveys to deceive people
06:01and reveal personal information to them.
06:04These quizzes can start with funny and harmless questions
06:08and once you are hooked,
06:10they ask you for personal details like your address,
06:13date of birth or even bank information.
06:16They often promise rewards or prices
06:19so that people feel comfortable sharing more.
06:22But the real goal is to gather information
06:25that can be used for identity theft or fraud.
06:29To stay safe,
06:30only trust surveys from websites or companies you know.
06:35Check them if you are not sure.
06:37If the quiz suddenly redirects or opens more windows,
06:40it is usually a sign of something suspicious.
06:44Some quizzes require useless personal information.
06:48Be careful and say no
06:51if it seems strange to you.
06:53Another form of scams is voice phishing,
06:56when someone claims to be a phone officer
06:59and asks you to provide your data.
07:01Always check with your bank, hospital or any other institution
07:05that scams claim to embody if they really need your data.
07:09It can also be an automated call
07:12asking you to contact a certain phone number to claim your price.
07:16The robot can offer you to press a certain button
07:19to stop all communication with it permanently.
07:22Ignore it.
07:23You will only register to receive even more automated calls
07:27because they will know that you are a real person.
07:30Some scammers who practice voice phishing are aware of your voice.
07:34It is as unique as your fingerprint,
07:37your iris and your DNA.
07:39A simple yes or I'm listening
07:42can help scammers generate a sample of your voice.
07:45If they get this and other data from you,
07:48they can access even more personal data
07:51and perform certain operations pretending to be you.
07:54Artificial intelligence tools
07:57can modify the recording of your voice in a transparent way
08:00in something you have never really said.
08:03So, the best thing to do is hang up without saying a word.
08:07To keep your personal data safe,
08:10you must show creativity when you answer security questions
08:14that can give you access to your account
08:17in case you forget your password.
08:19Do not select the same security questions on several sites.
08:23If an answer is disclosed,
08:25they will then have access to all your accounts.
08:28If someone is looking for your data,
08:30they can easily discover the name of your primary school,
08:33your favorite food or your pet.
08:36So, do not reveal these online clues
08:39or use fictitious information
08:41as an answer to your security questions
08:43to make them inviolable.
08:45If you have the name of your pet as a password,
08:48do not share photos signed with this name.
08:50Invent a password sentence made up of random words.
08:53But the best thing you can do
08:55is not to use your pet's name as a password
08:58and download a special app
09:01to create a stronger password for you.
09:04Finally, be careful when you store online
09:07or type other sensitive data in public places
09:10because shoulder surfing is a reality.
09:13If they look at your screen for a long time in a cafe,
09:16a shared workspace or in a bus,
09:19they can easily steal credit card information
09:23or a delivery address.
09:25Try to position your screen
09:27so that no one but you can see it.
09:30You can get a security screen
09:33or a filter for more security.
