According to the French government’s Cyber ​​Malice agency, there are several variations of the CPF scam, including: The scammer may call claiming to be from a training organization to inform the victim that they have CPF credits available, and sign them up for a fake training course — or a real course that has dubious value. The scammer may claim to be from the CPF platform, or even a governmental agency such as the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Integration. The goal here is to get victims to reveal their social security number or password to the CPF account so the scammer can take money from the account.

If the call recipient has mobile number list not set up a CPF account on the governmental portal, the scammer may help the victim set up an account, and will then know the name and password to access the account.
