Personal training account: “Telephone canvassing is necessarily a scam”

By the entry into force of the prohibition, you must still remain vigilant and follow a few recommendations in order to avoid scams: when you receive a call about the CPF, hang up ! Never click on the links sent by SMS and delete the message. Finally, never communicate your personal contact details, vital card number or bank card number.

Towards the end of the CPF scams: canvassing soon prohibited

The deputies voted unanimously a bill to prohibit the canvassing linked to the CPF.

No more calls or untimely SMS to encourage you to settle your personal training account: deputies adopted at first reading the ban on canvassing. The success of the CPF which makes it possible to undergo training thanks to the amount of rights accumulated by its professional experience has also favored the increase in scams. With more than 38 million French people concerned, attempted scams have multiplied in recent years. According to Tracfin, the Bercy intelligence unit concerning financial fraud, the damage is estimated at 43.2 million euros. So it was time to act !

A fine of up to 375,000 euros

The deputies adopted unanimously (73 voters) this Thursday, October 6, the ban on canvassing in the personal training account, whether by phone, SMS or by mail. Failure to comply with this prohibition will be severely punished: up to 75.000 euros fine for a natural person and up to 375.000 euros fine for a company. “” Which is enough deterrent in eliminating a large number of crooks and abuses “Explains MP Modem Bruno Fuchs, one of the rapporteurs of the bill.

The ban could come into force by “early 2023”

The bill should soon be presented to the senators. Asked about France Info, Bruno Fuchs hopes that the law will be quickly voted and is confident: “We coordinate with the Senate. There is a good chance that he will vote the text in the same way. It will therefore allow you to apply at the beginning of 2023 ”. He recognizes, however, that “” The scams will not dry up immediately because the crooks will continue to swindle »».

For the consumer association, UFC Que Choisir, this bill ” takes the gigantic problem of canvassing not asked by the little end of the Lorgnette “And regrets that it is once again a late restriction when thousands of victims have already been fooled. The association militates for the total ban on non-collicity canvassing.
