Have you received an email using the Service-Public.fr logo and alerting you to a new version of the vital card? This email invites you to click on a page and enter your personal data to obtain your new carte vitale? Be careful, these emails do not come from Service-Public.fr and should not be followed up under any circumstances.

These are attempted scams called phishing. These emails, often alarmist, usurp the name and logo of Service-Public.fr . They encourage you to provide personal data (identity card, passport, driving license, vital card). This data will then be collected by the phishing author who will use it for purchases or banking transactions. For example, they can offer a paid online service for updating the vital card. In truth, the update can be done free of charge in most pharmacies and on terminals in health insurance reception points.

Service-Public.fr does not ask for money, does not reimburse it and never seeks to collect bank details. Service-Public.fr can nevertheless send you an email (subscription to alerts, follow-up of a process ...).

In general, be careful when you receive an email inviting you to fill out a form in order to change your health card where the sender:

   asks you for money or offers to reimburse you for a sum of money;
   seeks to collect personal information (bank details, marital status, etc.).

What to do with the message?

Do not reply to the email or click on the link contained in the message but destroy the message.

If you have already replied to a fraudulent message by giving your bank details, you must first of all make opposition to your bank.
