France in Focus

Received notice of a vehicle fine of some sort via ANTAI, apparently a government site though it doesn't tell me what when or where or what. It came on my Iphone and linked to the Ipad.
Thus far nothing through the post. Is this a scam, if so a very good one. How should one react, just wait for the post to deliver the paper version or what?
Odd that they had my phone number as very few have that.
Anyone had this, any ideas, svp?
Thanks in advance.

I can't speak for your specific text, but I get these on a regular basis and they all use the government site names. They've all been spam and normally stay in the spam file. Some make it through, but they are all spam.

You should be able to confirm this on the government site noted. If I recall correctly, the government sites state that they don't send amends via texts.

A scam I suppose, read this press article.

Lots of examples here - https://www.cybermalveillance.gouv.fr/t ... travention

ANTAI only ever send 'Avis de Contravention' via La Poste.
