A group of scammers have taken it to the French government institutions. A month ago swiped one million euros to the agency responsible for delivering the holiday vouchers that some agencies provide to their workers. Animated
perhaps by this success, has decided to repeat the operation, this time his goal was nothing less than the President's Office France. The scammers were made with the account number of the Elysee and tried to steal two million euros, as revealed yesterday by the satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaîné and subsequently confirmed the cabinet of President Nicolas Sarkozy. Although this time the safety mechanisms worked and scammers were not with the loot.
The tentative dates back a couple of weeks. One of the offenders was passed by a furious manager of Air France and got in touch with the Treasury, the agency that manages the presidential accounts, claiming two million euros of unpaid official travel.
"It's a shame, both late payment!" Even dared to tell the fake airline representative. The scammers asked that the remaining payment was made to a bank account established in China. The Treasury received a false bill late last week, but lacking security numbers. The officer then called to send to the Elysee and found that it was a scam.
"They are very clever, well aware of our organization," the weekly said the president's cabinet director, Christian Fremont, who said the group knew the account number presidency. "They've tried the maneuver on several occasions and sometimes it worked, "said Fremont yesterday told Agence France Presse. As said, the scammers in question are French nationals living abroad.
Last 25 March, the same group performed a similar trick. The victim this time was the National Holiday Cheques. The first group managed to steal their account number and then faked a transfer order to the tune of 998,000 euros. The fraudsters had care to enroll in the fake document, the mobile phone number of an alleged top official of the agency, none other than one of the criminals.
This confirmed the operation well, and the money left for an account in China. Just three days later, the band tried to repeat the move with the same agency, but with a larger amount, this time called for 2.5 million euros. The bank of the institution, the Caisse des Dépôts, rejected this second operation.
