Professional directories: watch out for scams

0

In recent years, entrepreneurs have been increasingly victims of professional directory scams. The Directorate-General for Competition, Consumption and Fraud Prevention (DGCCRF) recently published a guide to inform professionals about these questionable practices. Advice to avoid traps is also relayed by the CCISM: our companies must also be wary of proposals for inclusion in these directories. Among the approach techniques observed, sending an order form after canvassing by telephone. Most of the time, “the professional signs with confidence and commits for a high amount”, specifies the DGCCRF.

What are the good reflexes to adopt? In particular, you need to identify the issuer of the document and be alert to what looks like a “simple” request to verify contact information. For more information, see the following site: www.economie.gouv.fr/dgccrf. _EH
