What did you do?
A link opened, but nothing entered or downloaded on purpose

I only clicked

You opened a suspicious link without entering a login or approving anything. The risk is lower, but a few moves are worth making as a precaution.

  1. 1
    Send nothing more and close the page

    Do not go any further in the form and do not send back any "confirmation" code received by SMS. Close the fake site's tab.

  2. 2
    Have the device scanned at the slightest doubt

    If you downloaded an attachment or installed something, run an up-to-date antivirus scan; if doubt persists, get help.

  3. 3
    Watch your accounts and statements

    The data collected is often resold and reused later. Stay vigilant for several weeks and turn on login and payment alerts wherever they exist.

  4. 4
    Report the fraudulent message and site

    Email: Signal Spam. Text: forward it to 33700. Fraudulent site: Pharos (internet-signalement.gouv.fr). For support: cybermalveillance.gouv.fr and the 17Cyber service.
